I wonder what criteria will be used to determine when Sky Choice seats are removed from inventory for a particular flight. My guess is some sort of calculation whereby a seat who's current value (price)exceeds the value of the mileage liability needed for the Choice seat could be implemented. A factor for the liklihood of sale of that seat may be incorporated. If I am correct, Delta will have absolutely no risk in the program. Taken with the devaluation of PM status and the millions of MQM opportunities, the program is of considerably less use to me. I am extremely disappointed.
