If the answer is no, do you know if the answer had changed if I had booked with Air France (057 ticket and core partner) and they had rebooked me on Qatar due to a cancellation?
Was it due to IRROPs or schedule change? You have a stronger case if IRROPs, but either way, you will have to attempt to claim ORC through Saudia, not DL, as it was their ticket and they are the ones who rebooked you.
