Unfortunaly you're wrong here. You are not on a DL flight untill DoD, you are on a KLM flight. And you won't get free Y+ seats because of that, same as with Flying Blue elite members. Now, on DoD the two flights are "merged" and now handled by the Company who runs the flight on that specific airport. NOW you're on a DL flight and now you will access to those seats. I know it sucks, happend to me on more then 50 flights.
