And to think that just last night I was thinking that I made the right move and continued my affair with DL instead of UAL the last three months. I had hoped that the DL mods would be in addition to the existing program, and that anything too farr stretched would be phased in to the system so we could test the waters before defecting. After reading the outlined changes, what I cherished most of my PM privvies are now gone.

No more upgrade at time of booking! I book tickets 3+ months in advance so I can flip a day back/forth to get confirmed upgrades. Now I won't know until 100 hours out.

Unlimited upgrades for PM are gone, and replaced with 500 mile certs. At best I will be able to upgrade 30K of my domestic flying this year, and the remaining 70K will be in an overstuffed coach seat

What this means to me is that I will probably rekindle my comped affair with UAL and hope that they have the smarts to see these changes as a HUGE opportunity to attract DL top elites. Since the programs will be nearly identical, this fat butt will most likely be sitting in the more comfortable seat next year.

Thanks guys, it was a great ride while it lasted. Unfortunately, this train has just pulled into the station and it's time to disembark for my other connection. Happy trains all y'all ...

p.p.s. What about the comp CRC for PM's - is this still a benny?
