Consolidation in the industry means that you are no longer special to them. There are literally thousands like you and your loyalty means nothing to them because there is another ready to take your place.

10+ years of diamond and platinum status/million miler…..one thing I learned is that delta does not give a flying F who you are.

Delta is awful, they once asked me why I was speaking to customer service instead of trying to run to my flight (which had already boarded and was on the other side of the airport) insinuating I was trying to scam them out of a free hotel stay in suburban Detroit.

I’m from Detroit, the last thing I want is to spend an additional night there. Will never fly them again.

It’s silly when these people defend delta as “best” airlines by survey or whatever. I can tell you it depends significantly on the hubs and people you deal with. Just like how I was a huge fan of united when I was in the northeast and everyone said they’re terrible

like

People dump on AA, but I live in an AA hub and have had literally no issues in 4 years

Ouch

I was diamond for 6, they can pick and choose when guests are allowed especially if it's a busy airport

Seriously now, which airline is better than Delta? United’s planes are decades old, Southwest is a cattle car service and American cancels so many flights I can’t even grade them. Who’s best of class if not Delta (taking out Hub based voters😉)?

Maybe it’s time for a new airline startup to disrupt the industry.

Or this would be one of those stories —- “man gets miffed at $50 charge for lounge access, disrupts the airline industry with unicorn startup”
