The only real solution to this problem is a change to DL's revenue management with more O inventory TATL or by finally giving PM/DM an enhanced inventory access.

I think you summed it up pretty well.
I am sure that the fact that it would appear that there are less seats available to FB members compared to SM members has also not escaped Flying Blue and that action has been taken from their side.
