DL 2011 SkyMiles Program
 

Does anyone know when DL might announce enhancements/changes for the 2011 SkyMiles Program?

:)

In 2012 :) :)

Sure wish you, MR_MAMA, were not so dead-on.
:(:(

Seriously i don't think there will be any big announcement, I think they will just keep adding things as the yer goes on, like they did this year

I think you are corredt. The major change was last year and they may tweek as needed for 2011.

I agree - only minor changes coming up, if anything at all. I would guess an announcement would come sometime in the fall.

Get rid of roll over miles, and give a little more value to FO.

Roll over miles are killing the FO changes for upgrades since it is easy for one to get GM now.

also instruct ga to fallow the rules of SP.

I say get rid of FO.

GAs and SP
 

I want to retierate the last point. I have been doing a great deal of DL flying this year and as a result I am a DM. GAs need to get the boarding script right. There is too much variation. I have seen versions of:

1. Everyone gets on, smaller aircraft
2. Special needs folks get on
3. First class get on
4. Zone I, including First Class, get on
5. Gate lice get on first, regardless of status

GAs need adult supervision. Get it right, DL!!!

I think the rollover miles is a great thing. If you can't handle more people being heavier elites, you shouldn't be flying. Just my opinion since there are many these days.

:td:

They pretty much have.

I was joking with a GA last week about making FO. She said "you know, it's not really worth anything, don't you". I feigned shock and said "Of course it is! Now I have a 1 in a million chance of getting an upgrade instead of none, plus I have slightly greater access to an award calendar that doesn't work". :D

In regards to getting rid of FO's, they don't need to do that, but if you are an FO and don't fly enough to gedt to Gold, then you should not receive all the benefits that those of us that do. Do a few MR, get a DR card etc, earn or fly your way to Gold if the benefits are that important to you.

For everybody who says FO is worth nothing, check the seat maps w/o logging in the next time you book a ticket.

Seriously, preferred seating is a big item.

Don't hate on Silver too much... do you want to be the guy that has to gate check his bag because he got on the plane too late? Or even worse, have to put your bag in the back of the plane when you are up front?
