That fee is not insane. With other FFPs its common to pay $1000+ in YQ/YR for an simple 2 flights each way connecting RT ticket (and no, I am not talking just about BA). $364.90 one way is not low, sure, but it's certainly better than $600+ something similar could cost using other FFPs (from any alliance).
DL, however, charges sometimes 2x+ more miles for the same sector flights as other FFPs (talking about the normal "lowest" price). So, what is crazy here is the high cost in miles AND the $ component. If it was normal cost in miles + high fee, that's one thing, or vice versa. But DL of course has to have its cake and eat it too.
