Sorry all you have to do is use the delta.dumb search and look for 1 way awards for the days you want and then call the medallion desk and feed them those over the pond slots and they do the rest.
Let us know next year if UA is all you hope it to be will you
PS if you do not want to do the work there are good FT'er who will do all the booking work for you and low level and just get you want you want (for a small fee)

Basic P&L logic, agreed to by any persons with P&L knowledge:
DL makes no more money on the top or bottom line by forcing passengers to play "games" with them. All smart customers, since there are so many options out there...even for those living in ATL, simply don't play the game unless they like mindless games that niether they nor DL gain anything from.
There's no excess pleasure whatsoever to using DL miles versus WN, SQ, CO, AA, BA, LH, OZ, KE, AS or CO miles, so the "game" with DL is truly a pointless and hapless endeavor.
