Not really a matter of that -- just that the certificate is going to expire otherwise and so will go to waste. Already flying WN on the return segment (DEN-JFK) on points.

And, airlines have been trying to avoid pulling people already on planes with confirmed seats off ever since a certain United incident. Delta knows better than to fight a PR battle on this.
We will both be doing the return leg, but on WN.

I'm traveling with family. "I" am flying.. other people are as well.
