If UA stood its ground in Lagen v United Airlines lifetime million miler suit - with all its ugliness, including the written dissent by a Federal Appeals and then the court affirming they can unilaterally change lifetime benefits which had a lot of media exposure - then they certainly don't care about this.
Delta announced this several months before UA - where is the unwanted media exposure for them? Lagen v UA set precedent at a Federal Appeals Court level - I can't imagine any reputable law firm would remotely entertain this - I can only imagine how money was lost by the Lagen attorneys who probably felt certain UA would settle and divvy up attorney fees.
