I think we all know the Delta/UA alliance is a joke, but I'd have to wonder what would make a CO/DL alliance more acceptable to the pilots?
Catman ~ The DL/UA alliance is quite simple, because there are so few new benefits:
1) You can earn UA milage on a DL flight or DL milage on a UA flight within the US. No elite bonuses apply.
2) You can redeem UA milage for awards on DL or DL milage for awards on UA.
Beyond that, there are no benefits.
