- redoing the whole stand up signs of PREM, SKY, Zone 1, etc that are popping up at ATL gates now. They are more of a disaster then the mess before since there is not enough room for folks to stand in line without it becoming a giant mess which this was supposed to fix.
- more consistent GA AND FA standards and recognition for the awesome ones. I write in via the website and DL twitter all the time for great flight crews or individuals but I'm never sure they get recognized. I would like a way to find out that they were recognized when I compliment them.

Let award tickets accumulate towards at least the MQM numbers. Your butt is in the seat even if you didn't "pay"
At a minimum let them at least count towards million miler status.

1. Actually provide full meals on flights over 1500 miles, like they advertise. I can't remember the last time I received a full meal on a TCON. It probably wouldn't be as big a deal to me if they didn't advertise it, but they alas they do.
2. Provide JWD certificates to all medallion members.

Was it because you were the one *at* the bar? 
In all seriousness, it depends on where in the cabin you're seated, just like how disruptive noise from chatty FAs only impacts passengers seated in the rows near the galley.
Bars aren't a problem at all if they are a serve yourself station like AF has, but if there's seating...

I'm a simple guy - I just want a way to upgrade into Premium Select withou blowing a GUC. My proposals include:
- Phantom upgrades at the gate for diamonds only, NW-style, into unsold PS seats
or
- A new Choice Benefit, separate from GUCs so it can be chosen in addition to them as two of your three options, allowing you to upgrade some subset of flights to PS.
or
- RUCs can now be used on PS cabins globally.

A Delta Sky Club in my home airport (BUF). After AA closed its club, it is reported that Delta was offered it but declined because they felt it was too far from the gates (they have 6-7, so considerable presence). I wouldn't care about the long walk, and wish there were a club. For almost 2 years BUF has been totally clubless.

I'll also be submitting feedback today over C+ in the torture tube CRJ200. Zero OH bin space as it's taken up by safety equipment, zero extra leg room as the sole row is on a bulkhead. Either move the safety equipment or give C+ a place to store simple carry-one.

I agree that there really should be a Sky Club at Dulles, I was really surprised when I found out there wasn't.

i would definitely appreciate one at IAD as well. DL has the entire end of the B Concourse there and operates a gate farther down in the morning due to equipment over flow.

The suggestions that I strongly agree with are:
Warm Nuts (this is also what I miss the most from American)
Champagne or at the very least a good sparkling one like Roederer Estate in Domestic First and DeltaOne
Lowering the mile threshold for when meals are served from 900 to at least 800 miles (preferably 700)

Mattress pads for long haul D1 flights.
Change the desert menu on long haul. Ice cream sundaes outlived their appeal a decade or two ago.
Actually make a fare "sale" a fare sale.
