Without a doubt a clarification would be useful.
I also recognize that airlines do some things that are not noted in threads on FT but impact some FTers and others nonetheless, but don't know if this is one of them. In any event, at least some of the cat is out of the bag.
I hope DL does not intend to "test" such things from time to time to merely figure out how to tweak capacity controls to more readily separate us from our miles on terms that are less customer-friendly. Such "testing" could be used for that purpose too, but given the customer approach of the new management of SkyMiles perhaps this was a test to see if it is financially feasible in scrapping capacity controls on its own metal.
