Thanks Ben and I understand this. But I was booking J, not Y+, so why this restriction ?

I just checked again on AF website for dummy bookings in Y or J CDG-JFK or CVG or SLC and all nonstop DL flights are proposed only under DL code.
And what's even more surprising as I said in the 1st post of this thread, even the TA Ulti do not see the code-share in their system and can't sell it, while an OTA can
