You're trying to split hairs to prove your point? Weak tactic...

NW (my airline) gives DL-members unencumbered free WiFi. I would expect reciprocity. It's just that simple (in my mind, anyhow).

Now, the fact that DL has decided to do it via free 24-hour T-Mobile cards is of no concern to me. I'm all about the end result. How'd they get to that end result? I couldn't care less. That's why I'm called the end-user. The end result is free WiFi for them but not for me, where in our clubs they get all the free WiFi they can slurp.
