I get that it’s unpopular, but I’m kind of looking forward to seeing how effective Delta’s efforts to thin the herd are.
Not going to happen next year. all you have to do is call in and moan and they are "waiving" the 250K and letting DM's back in at 25K of spend. Interesting to see if the 250K waiver sticks for 2020.
