Interestingly the system is no longer showing PEAK awards for JFK-TLV. Days where HIGH awards WERE available are now showing up as Not Available.
Doesn't really matter because there is no way in the world I'd ever book a Peak awards, but interestingly nonetheless.

Yes since the originally spin to the three tier awards schedule was to guarantee awards seats on all flights.

Non-Revs are one group of Delta pax are delighted by the Bend Over redemption rate.
With loyal paying pax reluctant to redeem 325,000 for a Transatlantic business elite seat, the seats are open at check-in and non-rev's fly in the premium cabin.
Now that Delta has adopted the United "Saver" award philosophy, how about copying the United policy of opening up seats in the premium cabin in the days immediately before travel at Saver redemption rates?

HOWEVER, it appears that this change is not just about names. I posted earlier about JFK-TLV in J Class showing months of unavailable, but I have looked at other routes and more & more routes that had J-Class HIGH availability have now gone to AWARD TRAVEL UNAVAILABLE as opposed to Peak. Perhaps the name change was also related to their change in inventory.

He never comes back. I really don't understand why he makes these announcements without dialogue or what Delta thinks it accomplishes. All it does is inflame the masses on this board, which it is pretty clear they don't give a rat's … about anyway.
