Hi folks... I'm currently a FB Silver member per a few LAX-CDG premium trips per year at my last job. Well now I've changed jobs to a startup with a strict economy cabin policy (eeesh!). I will be flying LAX-LON 4-6x per year (likely DL or Virgin metal), all economy (pray for me), as well as a fair amount of domestic travel out for LAX and BUR.

I'm trying to decide whether to requalify for FB Silver or go for Delta Silver instead. In order, my priorities would be: chances to upgrade for miles on LAX-LON flights, better economy seat choices, free domestic upgrades. I have a lot of transferable miles I can move into either program (from Amex or Chase).

Per the Delta and FB calculators, it would take about 4 round-trips to London to qualify for Silver in each, so that isn't a real consideration. Gold seems unlikely based on other travel.

Thanks in advance for any insights!
