AA's partners are amazing.....and AA's 77W, which I have been able to pick every time except one, blows any of DL's J out of the water.
I will probably do 150k EQMs with AA/OW this year to get the 6 SWU's as I travel internationally 8-10 times per year for vacations.
I don't think DL is going to miss me, though.
AA/OW was my close second choice and I keep wondering if I should switch, probably the day DL makes it impossible for me to hit DM. My biggest issue is the lack of China flights. With CX vetoing I don't see how they are going to address that gap.
