This problem started at day 1 and continues to this day. DL recognizes it as a problem but will not fix Deltamatic on purpose. This has been known for months and DL refuses to change its policy.
Once again, with feeling: do NOT book codeshares unless you are prepared for no upgrade.
Ah, best in class... I guess I thought as a newly minted Gold Medallion, I'd be better off booking the flight on Delta.com, which of course, will ONLY sell me DL codeshares on the nonstop DTW-MCO route.
I am half temped to cancel and rebook on NWA.com (though I'd be out the $120 of the ticket... It's worth it to be eligible for an UG, as far as this fat man is concerned.)
Perhaps I'll try to duke it out at the airport... I'll lose, but maybe it will be worth a try.
