I thought they still marketed under other d.b.a. for OAL.
They only do Delta now, best I can tell.

As to your point that they're firewalled from Dl, you may find this article interesting: https://www.travelagentcentral.com/r...s-making-moves.

They still run some reservations and customer service out of North Dakota, but all of their Minnesota operations moved to Virginia Avenue to work more closely with the mothership. They're still separate, but not as separate as they used to be.
