Its a train wreck or more like a plane crash
Its also great for Delta if it works.
I think its a very clever well thought out but none the less highly confusing scheme.
Superb for Delta
Its going to be facinating to see if everyone/majority stays along for the ride with little or no payback in elite status.
Also if other carriers follow its lead.
My condolences to all those members who have put up with Delta through its poor upgrade policies,old planes,cranky flight attendants,poor customer service and now this.
Sure glad I don't live in one of their hub cities.You all deserve elite status for buying tickets of any kind and putting up with the crowded terminals and long cattle lines I see when I travel with them.
I will go back to connecting in other cities and avoid them completely now just in principal.
Being I always put my miles to another program anyway I nver had to deal with their program rules.
Good luck to all at Delta I hope you can deal with this or find a better
more appreciative carrier that appreciates your business.
Happy Holidays all and much luck in the new year.
I'll be watching your reactions and if you continue to support them or move elsewhere with your business.
