Don't see a post about it (please merge with it if there is a post) but saw this blog post from Gary that they changed the T&C to sneak interesting wording in....

Wow, DL is on a roll. Did someone get greedy in ATL all of a sudden or did this "let's fleece them" illness just come out of hibernation?

It's just the overall arrogance of Delta. It starts with Richard and goes from there. Delta's done a helluva job as a company and now the present results aren't nearly good enough. So with the cockiness, it's a scorched earth as Delta thinks it can do whatever it wants. It's the reality.

It's all about how much money can the top executives take home every year?
$10-to-100 million per year not enough?
Come on!

Question for the forum - does anyone think that VA Ave believes it can get away with the gutting of J TPAC and TATL awards from this?
I'm sure most FF would bolt if this goes down. The transoceanic J was the biggest benefit.

Will it even be a set ratio of miles to dollars of ticket cost? Or will DL do everything with personalized prices?
