I think that will be the day I just give up on trying to maintain status with DL. I have many opportunities with MCO in my backyard to take directs to wherever I'm trying to go on various other airlines. Could save some time going direct but instead, I fly out of MLB so I'm on a Delta plane and route through ATL on my way to a destination.

It sounds like this is the 'classic race to the bottom' strategy of the all the airlines when it comes to business travellers.
