@davetravels... the thread is still here... Amazing!

I was still curious about the mechanics. If the airlines
  • offset one programs miles for the others and settle the difference in cash?
  • pay the partner for the seats?
  • pay the partner at a significant discount?
or some other involved scheme for settlement?
