In our FF rules, elite members get a certain # of upgrades. First, the fare from "L" became non-upgradeable. Then came the U-class fare. Originally Delta defended the move and stated that the domestic upgradeable fare, such as "K" class, could almost always be found for about $40(give/take $20) more/each way. With so many U-class fare internet offers, the K-class fare is much more than $40/each way.</font>
I don't know what market you are referring to, but I randomly checked 15 markets and routes and did not find a single market where the difference was less than at least double the lowest fare.
Quite honestly, all you DL folks can keep your fare structure, and I hope you don't bring it to NW/CO.
I can live with changing the pecking order, but I will never agree that it is better to let a F seat go empty than give it to a low-fare paying elite member. If this policy changes, I am headed to MRTC at AA where I can take solace for not sitting in first.
