They require boat loads of points for international premium awards. Yet still people charge billions to their DL AMEX cards.
Agree; not only is the grass not greener, there’s no green grass left anywhere (though I’m certain there are sweet spots for specific use cases). I’ve not dug into DL’s recent results but they are most certainly
not reflective of the opinions that suggested mass exodus reflected on FT when they announced a shift to revenue-based.

My hips and hamstrings have just recovered from my Monday transcon on one of DL’s 321NEOs. AS’s pitch and seat comfort vs DL’s would be among the very few differentiators out there that will actually drive me to pay a premium when picking a flight. The difference for me was a few hundred $, but only because I was using an RUC on DL; cash fares for F were basically the same.
