This would be great if we knew if was going to reduce the number of miles it takes to get an award ticket... BUT we all know where this is going, same as the cash fares did: basic economy will soon cost what the lowest main cabin fares used to.
Really sucks - I’ve always said domestic awards are some of DLs greatest redemptions, I’m almost willing to guarantee those 5k-7k one way awards are soon going to be basic economy and main will be back at higher levels.
