you guys are overthinking and overstating the crap out of this. Now I have stopped giving Delta updates, and that will stay that way, but I will say this. If you can get out of 9E and get to any major airline including LCC which for the most part pay great money now, DO IT. if you're at 9E in hopes of nothing more than moving to Delta, I retract my statements of 1 and 2 years ago, and replace it with; you'll be here a very long time.
