Delta currently receives extra revenue for putting me in the first class seat. I pay a higher fare - sometimes a few hundred dollars higher - and give them more than 100,000 miles per year. Everyone who pays an upgradeable fare gives Delta extra money for the seat. </font>

Right on Target! I spent over $35K on DL in 2002 - all "K" or higher - not to mention the full "Y" fares when overbooked just to get home. Never bought an insULT fare. I thought when Q/H/K fares were increased the spin was to "enhance revenue" due to upgrade opportunity availability into the F product.

Soooo... they keep the increased "K" and higher fares - now they want more money again to upgrade?
