The intermediaries you have to go through to transfer miles extract so much value along the way, it's typically not worth it.
There are trading programs,but you lose so much that the're worthless. The objet of a FF program is to create loyalty. Delta doesn't want to help UA and UA doesn't want to help Delta.
The only way is if you can find a carrier in the Delta alliance to use the miles on.
What you want is like buying from Target and returning it to Walmart. Sorry it doesn't work.
