Flying Blue (Air France & KLM) - Flying Blue EQM on Delta Connection flights

Does anyone know if Delta Airlines flights operated by Delta Connection (Skywest Airlines) count as qualifying flights/miles?

yes, they do

Is this written anywhere?

I just did a return flight with interconnections: 2 legs on Delta and 2 on Delta Connection (Skywest). All was 1 ticket purchased from Delta. But only 2 of 4 legs appear as "status flights" on Air France website.

I called Flying Blue center in Canada, but they are very confusing, some of them say it does not count and some that it should count... Can't get any formal confirmation.

I sent them the ticket and boarding passes but have no idea how long will it take them to provide an answer.

I don't think it's written somewhere. The reason it should count is that it's basically a Delta flight, that is subcontracted by DL to a regional carrier who operated the flight on behalf of DL. It's not a DL code-share on a non-skyteam airline flight.
All my flights on DL or NW regional carriers (ASA, pinnacle, skywest) have always give me status miles and counted as status flights, even since april fool.
Good luck !;)

What is written is "You can earn Miles on all Delta Air Lines-operated flights with a SkyTeam prefix."
Dear Goldorak, its interesting to know what were your prefix flights that gave you status and level miles on these differents regionals compagnies
Thanks

Yes, Delta Connection flights operated by Skywest DO QUALIFY as status flights/miles.

My account just got updated. For some reason there is a delay: Delta flights get updated after 1 day, Delta Connection flights after 5 days.

Thank you all for your comments!
