To add:
the drive is 3hrs and I am locked in at my location for the next 3 years but moving closer to dtw would be easy after that time. Lots of family enroute between where I am and DTW. Mom an hour south of DTW, brother 30 minutes south. I hate the idea of starting over but Delta just “appears” to have their crap together. Almost everyday I wonder how AA even stays in business.
other consideration: I am in my early 50’s so the timeline isn't very long.
it is all mute till I actually get called which is also doubtful.
