Tell me again where Delta states what the system was designed for, and how you're not supposed to use it? I have not seen any mention of qualifying reasons for doing a SDC, only that you can and that it is free of charge for elites (D/P/G). You may not be happy with people applying the concept differently than you, but they are just as entitled to using it as you are. |

still amazes me that people actually think the DL product in F is worth $150-200 dollars, especially Medallion members who already get most benefits.
And I really like how annoyed you are I.get to board with you as a DM. |

The value of money is entirely relative to the spender.
more accurately, "only relevant"

I really am thinking the whole upgrade "pecking order" is based more on ticket price paid and not so much status.

Bought a $550 RDU-SJC r/t so I had this silly hope of a decent FCM offer. $583 for the round trip...no thanks :rolleyes:

Can't believe I just paid for first....
PM, just booked a trip to New Orleans for a conference in two weeks. EWR - DTW - MSY and MSY - ATL - EWR on way back. Due to the times I wanted to be back, economy was $496. Booked it. Got the FCM upgrade offer for.... $78. Well worth it I think, especially for the extra MQM, and don't I get more SDC flexibility? |
You could be drawn and quartered for lèse-majesté. :D |

Today I went to buy two RDU-JFK tickets to take my Mother to the theater. Coach was $110, First was $159. At $49 each, how could I say no?
My policy is, if it's under a dollar a minute, I'll go for it. Especially as I need the MQDs. |
even though I'm almost half way to the AmEx waiver, I can't argue with that logic :cool:
