I find these kinds of lazy posts (done without searching the archives) so distasteful.. but I am in the midst of a unfolding family situation and hope someone can offer some quick advice.

The former partnership between NW and Sprint has me at 19,402 dormant miles.

ANY quick way to turn this into something usable?

Do I understand DL is a NW partner? I have a dormant 21,686 with DL.

Might need to get someone down here quickly from MSP soon. Seems a natural path.

Please help a Dallas Flyertalker who, for obvious reasons, is more AA and WN than NW.

In advance, my sincerest thanks.
