They may not necessarily need to talk to partners to do this (although they might be upset). For example, if they have a contract with AF/KLM to buy a certain number of business seats for $X USD (DL surely gives them real money and not SkyPesos) for their loyalty program members -- it may be irrelevant how many SkyPesos DL charges its own customers.
