Delta eliminates bike fees
Living in Atlanta (Delta's largest hub), this is great news for me (though it makes my Orucase a bit less relevant):

No, anything that was under the limit already wasn't subject to an oversized fee. These changes exempt certain sporting equipment from oversize fees.

Excellent!!
Maybe I can now use my Trico case again as I live in a Delta city. Have heard about TSA doing some really dumb things to bikes so it won't be totally risk free.
