I can not believe that all NW and DL flights were sold out on Friday am at 6am. Whether the flights were code share or not, NW and DL are CO partners and CO should have reaccommodated on those partners or at least looked at their availability. CO did neither in my case.
Unless you know otherwise, I would not speculate that NW and DL were not sold out on Friday. There were hoards of people getting out of town, and it would not surprise me in the least if all available flights were oversold.
