If its that easy to step around our Section 1, all Delta needs is a strong partner in each market and they can literally become a ticket broker. As in zero mainline flights. I must be slow in coming to this realization!
Our international code share scope has always been weak. I am not sure it is any better now. 15 years ago it was so poorly worded that when I asked my contract admin guy in my base about it he couldn't believe that I could decipher enough about it to ask the questions I did. Delta could literally have grown the codeshare to a point and completely shut down out international flying with no reduction in that codeshare. Virtual airline? you betcha.
