Need your advice
Greetings and Happy New Years fellow Delta FT's! I, along most of you, am seriously re-evaluating my choice of air carriers for 2003 and beyond.
He is my situation:
Delta PM for 2000, 2001 & 2002 - each year around 110K base miles (just over the "hump"). My home is Salt Lake City. The vast majority of my flying has been business trips on K and H fares.
Curently sitting on 300K of miles which I have used for family (of four) travel in coach.
Options I am considering
Sticking out with DL for 2003 (probably PM again) and deciding in 2004.
Switching to CO or AA now
Just saying to hell with it and going exclusively with Southwest.
One thing I will really miss is the CRC if I do switch carriers (I don't believe there are any other lounges in SLC - correct?)
So do any of you have any insights that I might not be considering.
Thanks in advance.

I am moving my business from DL to AA. Of course, I want to take advantage of my PM status while there are still some benefits left, so I will fly quite a bit on DL this year, less in 2004, and probably very little after that.
Of course, you have to decide if your destinations out of SLC would be well served by AA or CO.
You can always pay for CRC membership if it is important to you!
