I have also gotten the standard reply from Mr. Coggins office regarding "L" class fare upgrades. I as PLT member have flown many flights in coach on "L" fares with empty seats in First. Now when I fly on higher fare
and upgrade, I often am sitting next to Delta
employees and family. The least Delta could do is offer space available upgrades at departure for elites(like continental). Employees now have this chance, I would appreciate the same chance. I am also a Gld elite at Continental and have shifted alot of revenue that way. I pay may own travel expenses and it just makes sense to fly Continental.
