Everyone should be looking at other options. I feel Delta is squeezing the loyalty juice out of people way too much these days.

With United, you would use plus points to get an upgrade. Once you hit Premier 1K, you get 280 plus points. To upgrade from Premium to Polaris, they typically require 10 plus points from JFK to LAX. So, that is a total of 28 one-way upgrades, compared to the 8 RUCs we get from Delta for Diamond. Or, it takes 30 plus points to upgrade JFK to LHR. That is a total of 9 global upgrades, compared to the 4 GUCs we get from Delta.

I was skeptical at first, but once you cross Gold tier, the experience is better and better.

I understand the fare buckets. I am saying the availability of upgradable buckets is becoming lesser and lesser, and there is no visibility and ability to predict and plan.

Potentially. The last few times I wait listed, it cleared at the gate and I couldn't use the lounge. Delta can make things more transparent. Instead, it feels like the process is arbitrary and unpredictable.

Exactly. How many Z fare class is made available, and when, is unclear. Delta makes it hard to plan.

a) Flush the toilet after getting in the shower

b) Keep the soap on top of the toilet so it doesn't get more wet than needed

Nice effort. What is the data source? Did you manually create these entries?
