You can't see DL award availability in EF (which is implicit in my statement that it's not in any GDS). You can see upgrade inventory for both complimentary medallion upgrades and mileage/SWU upgrades in EF, but not awards.

I thought I made it clear, but apparently my previous post wasn't clear enough. I clicked on that, also clicked on the other links. A pop up box comes up and they all say:
Fare Rules Unavailable
and
Unable to Display Fare Rule
and that I should call Delta. Hence the origin of my complaint...

Additionally, DL has effectively invalidated the rule of "higher fare, more flexibility". I recently booked a "W" fare, displayed as a changeable, refundable ticket that ended up being issued to a non-changeable, non-refundable, maximum-stay 3 months ticket! I payed $2k more that the cheapest changeable coach fare available!
