Really unbelievable and sad (why are 100% partner flights cheaper than Delta + Partner). But they can do what they want to do. At least they made the change in December so I can decide what I will do in 2018. Do I status match or not. And Kudos to DL for responding to me honestly. I appreciate that,

That is likely so if you are getting a DL flight at one of the SkyHigh vs. at the normal award price. At the normal price it should price at through fare, but it will be additive if the DL flight is anything but the normal award price.
