Delta has made it so hard to use miles in their FF program. Perhaps it's a sign for me, at least: switch to United or use the cash back cards instead.
The trip I'm on at the moment was made using Delta miles. I had a feeling when I booked the tickets -- and used most of my miles -- that it would be my last as a SkyMiles customer....

That article is rather vague wouldn't you say? Rewarding people who buy the priciest tickets as opposed to rewarding people who fly the most. What does that really mean?

The Delta website has a calculator to show what you will earn under the new program, based on your membership status with them as well as on the amount of money your ticket costs.
I'm a lowly, non-status traveler, and I'll earn about half as many miles under the new program as I do at the moment.

They don't call them Skypesos for nothing. Delta now has a huge lead in the race to the bottom among airline mileage plans.
