With no good alternatives because it's an AF/SN duopoly here, I'm assuming that means they'll try to reroute me on SN to get me out of West Africa. So would DL then also reroute me to my final destination on SN/UA, or will they reroute me to Brussels and let me take DL the rest of the way to DCA?
Also, if I am put on SN/UA for one or more of the legs, will Delta likely honor a request to credit me for the miles of the route I booked and not the one I end up flying?
It is, more-or-less, a free world for most of us, and if the AF pilots want to strike and bankrupt the company, that is fine with me. AF is OK, I have used them for decades in the Middle East to and from Europe, but I am done with AF. I refuse to use an unreliable airline with AF seat or on a DL seat code share.
Do what you wish, pilots, but to stay in business one must stay in the air.
