this can't be good for us
Seems to me that Amex has DL over a barrel and probably got an exceptional deal on those miles.

While this will give DL some breathing room (and probably less leverage in pilot talks) it also puts out billions of miles that are now competing for award flights and upgrades

Good for DL and not so good for us, I think....
