Well the delta thing is another story. There is still no code share I think delta is not going to do one and everyone will be ****ed
I think delta gives 2 craps about silver and aren't in a rush to codeshare these EAS markets. The only way to buy a connecting ticket is via Expedia or any of those travel sites. I doubt we will ever see any delta flight benefits. They don't give them out to code shares only DCI partners and subsidiaries
