The free enterprise for choices!!!!!!
I think I'm starting to feel the same way. At first I welcomed this partnership but now it's just looking too complicated. I'm trying to plan a trip to SLC in January and have been waiting for info on this partnership before purchasing. My choice is $212 on a CRJ on DL or $180 on WN 737's. On top of that, the DL fares are "U" class so I'll only get 50% EQM's - and it's not clear whether that 1/2 will be 250 each way or 375. $212 is a pretty high fare for a 580 mile flight. You'd think I'd get full credit. WN will get me 3 credits and a much more comfortable seat. DL will offer me club access in SLC but the extra $30 alone isn't worth it, not to mention that comfort on the ground will be offset by the CRJ torture device in the air.
