NEW: Delta says it is giving a break to flyers who can’t get through jammed phonelines to change/cancel a flight. “If you don’t take your flight, your ticket number automatically becomes an unused eCredit within 24 hours.” Seems to apply to March-April flights.

Now Delta gets to proclaim it's "the only U.S. airline blocking middle seats" until spring. That's the point. Delta has long been viewed the best US airline. That's not just about seats & on-time record. Delta is also a master at drawing contrasts and crafting a narrative. /end
