On Delta for November of the following year. Get and use your status January -October and then cancel all your refundable tickets. You will be out if pocketc$250,000 for 11 months and have the satisfaction of screwing Delta.
If your money could earn 1%, you're implicitly paying over $2000.
Maybe more importantly, what happens when you refund the tickets and DL claws back the MQD waiver and the goes after you for fraudulent ticketing since you never intended to fly $250,000 worth of DL tickets in one month.
