Bruce,
LAOCA has a VERY valid point. I myself am top elite on three other carriers and fly almost exclusively with DL internationally. NAMU's are/were useless to me (especially as my wife is GM on her own already), and 800 milers were worth practically nothging to us. The SWU thing was very important to a lot of non-US based people and you guys know that you lost some int'l business based on this. Therefore while the PMU system may seem fair to y'all, it is in fact a competitive disadvantage to have done away with the SWU's.
Will their be other benefits for NON-US based fliers (and yes I know about the 5000 mile thing, its been referred to ad nauseum)??
