1. Took over the closed RCC in CLE on concourse B and made it a CRC.
2. Published an updated list of CRCs that showed opening & closing times. I have the most recent and it's dated 2003.
3. Published a definitive list of partner clubs and circumstances under which you are entitled to a visit, with how many guests.

BTW, I flew a SkyWest 900 last week that maad no mention that I could see of DL on its exterior. Instead, it carried a splashy paintjob celebrating 30 or 35 years of existence.

I'd love to see Delta open up a CRC in GSO (even a joint NW/CO/DL club since they're the only real carriers on that concourse; them and a lone SkyBus flight).

It would be nice if Delta:
1. Added any form of IFE to the MD-88s
2. Replaced the CRTs on the standard (non-Transcon, non-ETOPS) 757s with LCDs. AA is doing this.
3. Added PTVs in economy on the 767-300ERs, or at least replaced the CRTs/projectors with overhead LCDs.
4. Ordered the 787
5. Added AC laptop power to domestic first class on all aircraft.
6. Replaced old PSUs on all 757s, MD-88s, and 767-300s. Delta has done this on some of them, but appearently, Delta is no longer updating the PSUs.

DL and NW Opened a Lounge on Pier C at BWI
together, they've got tons of passengers, many more than at airports that have CRCs (such as MCI or SEA, or for that matter, ORD).

It would be nice if DL added more flights to their DCA operation. Really like having the option of flying DL direct to CMH, HSV, BTR, LEX, & JAN (in addition to the DL hubs/focus cities). Would love to see additions to midwestern cities like MCI, IND, & BNA.

Got real food on board (even for purchase) and on shorter flights. (CVG-SLC) isn't long enough for current meal service.
Allowed upgrades for K+ fares at the time of booking for PMs.
As to spending money on livery until it's needed for maintenance reasons, I think that is just silly. More often than not, I have no idea what the livery is for the plane that I am on.
