Same here, I got fed up with getting bumped by Delta/NWA retirees and watching my parents not making it on Delta flights. It's very rare that I non-rev on Delta. It doesn't do any good to whine about it like a little kid on a message board. Like you, I still pay the $50 incase I want to travel international. It's Delta's airplanes and seats, so they get to make the rules and do what they want.
