That sort of logic will permit the airlines to openly collude to the point where FF programs are worthless.
Even in comparison with all other US airlines, DL has more award fees and higher award fees than the rest. Comparing one fee here or there won't accomplish much as DL has the highest possible award fees of all US airline programs.
