Who says I haven't already "voted" ;)

Oh, that reminds me, I need to vote in the Freddies too...

Sadly, I am voting withn my feet. In 2008 I had almost 190K Delta MQM's. Based on my booking pattern that I converted to one month ago, I will have MAYBE 22-25K MQM's with DL this year. A number of years ago I was a NW Gold. What DL is doing is an exact duplication of how Doug has destroyed US. But, since US has not yet died (but trust me, it will within 18 to 24 months from now), DL is duplicating them due to lack of strategic foresight and ability. Parker and Anderson have both mistakenly assumed that size (and disconnection from their primary revenue source...passengers) can save them from fatality.

So, I and everybody I talk to is now undertaking an approach to teach them a lesson and also to destroy them if necessary from a brand and revenue standpoint.

Because DL has not had the courage or the brains, while their fuel bill is right now 46% lower than one year ago (http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/economi...itor/index.htm), to connect with and treat their best customers like gold while making nothing but improvements for that group, they deserve their mortality.

Several of us have met with 2 state Attorney's General and 3 other staff members, and a group of us are continually monitoring, documenting, and assembling evidence to either keep Delta both ethical and honest, or to teach them a lesson after their errors. The biggest reason is to prevent them from having lied during their merger application review process, which nearly all evidence currently existing indicates that they did both purposefully and knowingly lie with an intent to deceive. That explains most of why Jeff Robertson has been lying on FT. The technical term is "monkey see, monkey do".

Nothing personal though!

+1 for another agreeing with thezipper.

Same here. While the PE same PNR companion UG is awesome, it is more common for me to have an airport companion walk-up.

I wonder how quickly NWA will implement this? I'm sure the elite lines will know this change, but will GA/TA's?

I ran across a link to another site, www.deltareallysucks.com on another travel-related site.

It's mindboggling* how many Google hits there are for "Delta sucks". At one point my own "Delta Sucks" blog (http://dlsucks.blogspot.com) was the 671st Google hit for "Delta sucks". I can usually get new sites into first 10-20 hits rather quickly, but this is going to take some effort.

*but not surprising: Delta ranked 17th of 19 for overall consumer complaints for all of 2008. There are lots & lots of people out there who want to tell us that Delta sucks.

There's also so much new material for the blog (& its UA companion) that it's hard to keep up. I still have to post yesterdays finds from Google News.

Are you involved with that UA site as well. I had been aware of the www.untied.com site for years, but now it apparently has competition.

I noticed on the poll at www.deltareallysucks.com , the legacy carrier that people thought sucked the least was CO.
