22,500 miles for $179 WJ flight isn't exactly good use. Such awards are normally even below $0.01 per mile value. You are right, it is indeed ridiculous as to how poor value it is. (Though, of course, on some select routes there may be the occasional sales when the value is actually good, as in considerably above 1cpm. Usually it's just in X, though there have been the occasional O awards on DL itself also that are high, but not super extremely outlandishly though (as is the norm).)
