I think Delta is doing something similar here in the US. Recently a UPS pilot had some 80K miles deleted by a "Delta audit" where they claimed that since UPS is getting a discount on Delta we are not allowed to collect miles. Another guy who had purchased a ticket for his wife using his Delta miles received a pretty hostile letter from Delta saying he had 30 days to pay for his ticket or else since his miles were “not valid.”
This is what I heard from one of our captains just a few days ago and those incidents all happened within the last 6 months.
I'll do my best from now on to commercial on other airlines than Delta - no offense to Delta pilots but I cherish my miles and would hate to be audited by the Delta IRS.

I know, for the sake of our frequent mile programs I was hoping for a NWA takeover of Delta, not the other way around. Sorry Deltoids, nothing personal.

Our tix at UPS must be coded differently. I always get the miles. I live in the SE so DL is my preferred carrier. I've never been denied access to the AF business class lounge at CDG either. You guys are getting screwed.

I suppose it depends on who purchased the ticket and at what rate. Additionally the agent who issues your bording pass has to notice the code. Flying out of HK they usually do, however, they may not notice or even care about it out of other airports. Out of Manila one morning the agent told me she wasn't supposed to issue a lounge card but gave me one anyway.
