Interesting that DL blames it's first quarter woes on the uncertainties in the middle east. Is there any way to objectively measure the impact of the changes to the skymiles program? Canarsie conducted a poll on the DL Board re: the financial impact. Given what I have been reading on this board since the changes were announced, I see large defections of big-revenue fliers. Clearly, the bottom line has been affected...yet, not acknowledged by Delta.
