Me too. It should be "illegal" for a SkyTeam airline not to offer award booking on all other SkyTeam airlines. If an airline fails to do so (as DL is doing here), it should be expelled from SkyTeam or at least relegated to an "associate member" or such status and not be a full-fledged member. Of course, fat chance of that happening. But it just really isn't right for DL and SU to be in SkyTeam on paper but not so in practice (award redemption).
