So, Delta went from reducing the number of status holders at each level to rewarding the folks who managed to sit on their MQMs through Covid, and gifting status to the MM clubs. I sort of wish they had left the whole thing alone.

I was looking forward to status actually meaning something, but Delta has pulled the trigger on upgrades remaining a lotto situation with inflated numbers at each level, so I suppose I'll just remain in the "Buy the seats you want" program.

Which is sort of fine, though since I'm not in an MM club, it changes how I'll shop for tickets, and I am annoyed enough to consider other airlines now.

I'm currently DM, but I'm not seeing what that buys me any more, other than a couple of upgrade credits that I have to stress over.
