O is the fare for Y award travel on DL, but also stands for discount-Y on VS (50% base miles).
As it turns out, I make more miles if the flight is credited using partner airline rules than the delta rules, so I'm cool with that.

Yet, I don't understand why delta would have used VS fare codes on a 006 ticket...
No, on DL O means low business class award inventory, not coach.
