Not true. DL did have better availability 15 days out. And in my experience, it gets better 7 days out for last minute travel.

"IdeaWorks tested award availability five to 15 days before departure for travel in April and found that seats were available on Delta 42.5% of the time, compared to the airline's overall 27.1% rate. United, American and US Airways all had lower availability close-in than they did in the regular advance-purchase test."
