RU's are a pain for me to use as a DM out of DTW so I am sure it would be worse for as PM out of ATL. Something else to keep in mind is that if RU inventory doesn't open up before the regular upgrade window opens up it's my understanding that a regular comp upgrade will clear before an RU until the time the upgrade list goes to gate control so diamonds could be getting upgraded before you in the five day comp. upgrade window if that inventory opens up.

If you wife is flying weekly she will appreciate getting the exit rows even if she doesn't get C+ or F upgrades.

Curious as to how she isn't gold if she is flying weekly. Even doing a short haul weekly would get her 1,000 MQMs a week.

It would probably pay one of your to get the Delta Am Ex reserve and pay to add the other as an authorized user since you fly so much and pay for F for personal travel. The companion cert on one of your personal F trips would pay for the annual fee and the Skyclub access would be nice if she is travelling every week.
