I love Northwest, and I hope they will not make any adverse announcements on their elite program. I got Gold Elite for 2006, and with the saber rattling by the pilots and stewards union in reaction to "NewCo"... I'm a bit concerned.

I fly out of Sioux Falls, and my other choices are limited to United (which flies to ORD and DEN) or Delta (to CVG) on even more limited schedule. United and Delta flies CRJ or ERJ (ugh).

If I were to call them to comp me, which one should I call? I'm thinking UA, but what about their elite program compared to DL?

Thanks,
Marvin
