As an ex-DL FF, I have to agree with your message. Running at a 92% upgrade clip since January 1 (missed on two MSY-MSP 7am flights), I would have never had that high of a upgrade percentage on DL as a SM. I am still amazed at getting a whole can of soda on a 30-45 minute flight. On DL, I'd get a small plastic cup to last a 2 hour flight.
Hopefully gold by the end of June with six months to reach my goal of platinum. Life is good these days.
