Is the net effect to drive travelers to Delta metal?
If so, not exactly promoting a healthy alliance.
The bifurcation of alliances between those inside and those outside JVs is an industry-wide trend. In the absence of a JV, DL doesn't have an overwhelming interest in having you fly Korean Air.
I was wondering that as well...Dwayne can you clarify?
They were very clear in stating the EARNINGS rules change 1/1/2014. Since nobody is acruing MQDs this year, they obviously are not needed for status year 3/14-2/15.
Then show me where booking AF/KL tickets gets you MQDs. Oh wait, they don't. Sure there are some DL codeshares if you want a simple flight to AMS or CDG. Want a more complicated ticket or to go someplace else? DL.bomb isn't capable, but af/kl is... and then you don't get credit.
That isn't at all what you said.
I will repeat my request that you correct the patently false information in your post (hint, you bolded it to ensure that you were emphatically wrong) and add a request that you not now try to obfuscate the fact that your information is incorrect by bringing up scenarios that are unrelated to your claim.
Programs: Feels like FO (DL DM, CO-G, United PE) - by choice!

Doubtful, does it clearly say purchase here: "MQDs are the total of the SkyMiles member’s spend on Delta-marketed flights (flight numbers that include the “DL” airline code), inclusive of the base fare and applicable surcharges, but exclusive of government- imposed taxes and fees.
Flight spend for travel on other airlines ticketed through a Delta channel (featuring a ticket number beginning with “006”) will also be included in MQDs."
Or does it signify "ticketed" (oh wait, its 074) or does it clearly state "DL" flight numbers (Oh wait, a re-issue to KLM features KL-coded flights).
I also challenge your following statement:

People need to stop with the misinformation. I suspect that the misinformation is due to rash, overly-emotional outbursts in the heat of the moment, but it is misinformation nonetheless and is a disservice to the community.
It still doesn't do any of that. I spend enough to be a Diamond, but my miles are FO. Under the new plan I will still be an FO. How does that reward me? I admit I am not a high value customer, but likely spend more than most golds, some platinum and diamonds.

Back when I first earned medallion status in the late '90s certain fare codes were not upgrade eligible (LUT IIRC). In other words, there was a revenue component - an incentive to spend more money if you wanted to 'receive the best program benefits.' Today, a GM or above on an award ticket can be upgraded...not so exclusive any more.

I'm just looking at DL dot com. It shows 006 stock for my past KL flights. I know I bought it through KL.com. Just reflecting what is on my account activity.

. DL SM members get fleeced once again. Rollover is now meaningless. Partner MQMs are gutted, and only 006 stock counts towards MQD.
