We can complain about DL all we want but I’m sure this will poke the AA and UA bears too. If these go well I’m sure both will respond with similar service (and lack of upgrades) on similar routes. I had heard AA was definitely considering 321T service to SAN as well.

The reality is those folks who say loyalty is stupid are looking smarter by the day. Just wait till the next economic downturn, I predict a lot of these devaluation attempts to elites will be scaled back somewhat
