1. The program was always a niche program but was a transfer partner with every possible partner which made points easy to obtain or top-up. It's still a niche program and can be profitable selling to bank partners if they preserve some value.
This is the only reason I think they might not go "full Delta" because they are not in the same position (to put it mildly) in the US credit card market. That said if they do go full Delta I propose the VS version of Skypesos is (Flying) Clubkopeks.
