The Bow Wave simply allowed you to drop future flying and cover it with the bow wave. You got paid 75 per month, no more.
That's a good idea. Now if I can only remember to do that ten years from now.

Tampa is one of those cities Delta seems to love, or hate. Seen them throw all kinds of airplanes in there, pull everything out, go in with a ton of RJ's pull those out, put mainline in, pull it out, etc ... . Probably worth attending on of the roadshows and getting a little more information before actually moving the wife & kids.
If it were me, I'd not do it. Commuting is a real pain with nearly every flight full.
