Nested tickets are allowed. Back to Back tickets are not. However, splitting it up between 2 airlines just means that it's unlikely you'll get caught; it doesn't make it ok with the airlines. Delta would rather get the high price fares from people who can't/won't do back to back ticketing and the partial revenue from those who do than get less revenue by allowing back to backs.

Assuming that you fly all of the segments, the airline actually loses here. due to their on rule. Assume the fare RT fare is $300, then DL is sharing getting $300 and NW $300. DL could have $600 if the nested tickets were allowed.</font>
