What good is lifetime Silver once I retire and only fly a little? I's spoiled, I want the comfort of the Crown Room that Delta got me addicted to. I want availability of First Class that Delta addicted me to. (At least give me a chance!)

Again I say....Delta gives a little and takes away a lot.

This holds up on comments on this site and also the transcript of the www.saveskymiles.com discussions.

Look at the excuses that they come up wit:

Too many people are Elite and want 1st class..lets make it harder on them. (They made us elite and it is our fault we accepted their perks)

Crown Rooms are too crouded...let's bump off our FCs..what did they ever do for us?

At least they dropped the famous---our members asked us to charge them for drinks in the CR shtick.

etc etc etc.
