Obviously they spin this as an improvement. Obviously it's another money grab devaluation (www.delta.com)

Also, frequent flyers won't earn anything on the lowest fare, which could screw a lot of business travelers. - spamlet Dec 8, 08:23 18
- DL's FF program was always a joke, but they gutted it even further for 2015 - ty97 Dec 8, 08:24 12
  - They'll all be revenue based soon. That's clearly the best business decision for them. - spamlet Dec 8, 08:27 11
    - There comes a tipping point where FF programs are no longer worth it and we all say 'fuck it' and just fly Emirates and Ethiad on the cheap. -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 08:31 3

        Yeah, I've known a person or two that has done this stuff. - ty97 Dec 8, 09:03
        
        Oh, there's some crazy, crazy points people out there. - spamlet Dec 8, 08:46

      - Also today: DL took away extre legroom (what AA calls MCE) seats at time of booking from their 50K fliers. - ty97 Dec 8, 08:33 5
        
        AA Gold doesn't get MCE for free anymore either. I don't think we can even choose 72 hours out. - spamlet Dec 8, 08:36 2
        
        That's consistent across AA, DL, UA. The 25K tier can only choose MCE/E+ 24 hours before the flight - ty97 Dec 8, 08:40 1

  - We go through a portal and can't select fare classes. - spamlet Dec 8, 08:26 3
    - Can you call and upfare after corporate books it? -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 08:27 1
      - I might be able to try but I'd have to have a dang good reason. - spamlet Dec 8, 08:32
