Yes we all understand. But to do what you want, you will pay huge fees as you mentioned. We are trying to explain alternative ways to get the same end result, which is for you to use your miles to book their tickets. To pay you back, they would have to do the same, or have points in the other programs I mentioned which can transfer to Delta.
