We also have to keep in mind that there is more than 1 flight a day. Not everyone lives in ATL (despite what most at DL think) and the world does not revolve around ATL (despite what most at DL think.) Just because there are now 40K more people using the benefits doesn't mean all 40K of us will be vying for the same flights. With those 40K people come more seats as well. Not to mention the fact that the 40K of us from NWA/NWA Airlink that are joining you Delta/DCI folks aren't going to be apart of some mass exodus from the territory we bring to the network. Yes... really... we're not all moving to ATL.
