If I fly Delta, a route-alternative, I'll get the EQM but then have to suffer in coach (no cost-free upgrades). Looks like if I want upgrades AND 100% EQM on NW I'll have to take longer flights, e.g., through MSP/DTW even if my ultimate destination is in the deep south!

Is it a good thing for you if you have to take longer flights which can generate more EQM!!! I have always prayed that Northwest can use their only metal to fly me SNA, MSY... for lower fares and decent EQM, but they seems not to like this idea. I don't like to fly Delta, but I have to tolerate more DL flights the next year until I can burn the $1200 DL voucher I got on during thanksgiving bumping. The next one is 9 hours 40 minutes ATL-HNL flight in March. Thanks god I got 17A on that 764.
