Nope on the upgrade - but I knew I had no chance before I left BGM, I was 25th on the waiting list and only 6 seats were available at that point, so I changed my ff# back to my DL number, figured I might as well get my skymiles if I wasnt going to be upgraded. You know I got thinking about that issue too. Why is it to get an upgrade you have to have the plane you are flying on's number on the reservation. Arent elite upgrades supposed to be our award for earning status, which we did the year before. Where we put our current miles should have NOTHING to do with getting an upgrade. That upgrade is not a reward for our current flights, but a perk for past loyalty.

As for what I didnt like, the FA's just seemed rude (on both flights). And every time I am on an NWA flight things just seem very disorganized, from check in to the GA's to the flights. Perfect example...my flight from DTW to MSP was delayed because we didnt start boarding until after our take off time (and then it took an hour to board). Why were we delayed, because the GA decided it was more important to spend all her time on the phone trying to find a missing stoller from an inbound passenger on the flight before us. Instead of getting someone else to handle the stroller issue or boarding the flight then dealing with it, she spent her time keeping 1 person happy at the cost of an entire plane full of people. It was insane! It also kinda ticked me off you couldnt get any type of snack without BUYING their pitiful trail mix. I didnt spend almost $600 on a flight to buy a 1/8 oz bag of granola. Snacks on DL are sad but at least they arent nickeling and diming us on them.

We can gripe about DL and they have their faults but their service just seems above and beyond what I see on other carriers.

That and like I said I am also reconsidering my stance on CRJ's on flights under 3 hours. Unless I am doing a long haul I think I am going to stick to not sitting in that kind of chaos again.

Not only is it good for spamming, but it would even make the original Spam taste good. In fact, I would go as far as to say that if they put it on Delta's international coach dinners they would even become edible.

Run, do not walk, to www.cholula.com and order cases of the sauce -- or even better, tell your airline to buy cases so you can eat if for free.

I use the sauce consistenly now that I know FT and cholula. And I don't let my girlfriend use powdered mexican seasoning and tobasco anymore.

You know what? This topic is very far afield from Delta and Skymiles. But if the "Moderators Keep On Moderating" thread (also off-topic) can be left open, so can this one. Cholula sauce was part of the SaveSkyMiles campaign, and so related. And the answer to "can you give me some examples of folks that are DL 4MMs?" could include Cholula.

Okay, maybe I'm shoehorning here, but, well, I'm human and not a computer. So just go ahead and reference this thread the next time you want to complain about moderator inconsistency...
