Probably ought to repost this every two or so posts because new folks to the thread will miss it. (a bit tongue in cheek, but with a bit of truth also...)
Some of you are correct... there is always evidence of a conspiracy if you look for it. (Note, I'm not taking a stand on the actual 'good or bad' of this, just saying that whatever your bias when looking to explain things, it's yours. It's just human nature...)

Yeah, and this also seems to redefine the fare bands, which in the past always seemed to be Y / B M/// H Q K /// L U T ////////E.

I know this won't apply to most of you, but I was fortunate enough to be targeted for the 1000 bonus mile per segment promo through November 30th. If this true for flights booked after 9/1, that has to be one of the quickest and nastiest bait-and-switches in the history of airline loyalty programs. I understand the need to incentivize the most profitable flyers to fly Delta, but how can they explain implementing a promo like that only to then stealthily pull the rug out from under our feet?
Has anyone booked AND flown a flight since 9/1?

MIA,OMA,ORD,LAS,and PHX are all booked on AA, oh and TLV...so 6 flights. Not that you care but I need to go to YVR and AUS as well, not sure if I want to book on Delta and all of my tickets as of late have been high fare buckets.

When another business is doing well, McDonald's actually adopts it and adapts to it. Look at the premium coffee market that McD's has largely entered over the past two years.
If the hot dog vendor (NK) has higher margins than McDonald's (DL) (AND THAT FACT IS INDISPUTABLE BY ANY OVER-ENTITLED LUT ELITE), then maybe McD's has to look at what the hot dog vendor is doing.

As in "not supposed to happen at all"?
Or, as in "not supposed to happen this soon"?
Count me in the ranks of those believing that this was just an inadvertent preview of what is in the works but, nonetheless, thanks for listening and posting.
