I guess I'm a little confused about how nicely NW and DL really play beyond the 100% EQM area. NW and CO have a real upgrade reciprocity program - DL doesn't do that for CO or NW. Same thing with CRC access - no DL boarding pass - no access to the CRC whereas NW and CO are fully reciprocal. I'm in my transition from CO to NW and have noticed no extra fortune on DL at all (and I avoid them for the most part - they are an airline of last resort to me).
