I havent digested all of the details since it does not apply to me, but it looks like Delta made some major changes to their FF program which doesn't appear to make people happy - sounds like it involves a substantial associated cc spend - which for many (like myself who travel for work) would be a huge problem since ticket purchase is often paid for via a corporate account.....not to focus on DL (since this is a UA forum) - but have there been any rumors about changes to the MP program to thin the herd in a similar way....looking forward, for me, going back to the old $ spend for status will probably be hard enough for me (and probably others)......but I am concerned about a trend evolving in which status was given away, extended, granted to a lot - and now the pendulum is swinging in the other direction to make it harder?

then again - considering all of the gripes about PP, etc - does it even matter anymore?
(or maybe tightening things up and making status harder will allow for more perks?)
