DL operated seems to maintain the better option ... tough life.
It can also always help to talk to someone at the Air France Salon. After checking at the salon, I alway inquire about paying for an upgrade. I'm usually told no upgrades are available; at this point I ask if hey know if the flight is oversold and there might be a chance for an op-up. Just having it out there...never hurts.
