You bet, I've considered Delta. But with so many direct flights available, it's hard to justify spending even more time in airports. My current "personal sanity" standard is that if DLT's price beats NWA's by 75 quid, I'll do the connecting itinerary. Hasn't happened yet, but unless NW surprises me and agrees to comp me to Elite, I'm sure my standards will drop and, I'll be spending some time in SLC and DFW this year.

Or I could do the DEN-LAX Triple EQM mileage run in between meetings

Thanks all, for the welcomes.
