I like the way you model it, and like your logic, there's just one (positive for me) error: I won't be flying AF - I'll be flying DL. So I'll go to JFK, check in with DL, get a DL stock BP, and then board a DL plane, and fly DL. The only trick is on the return, when I'm in NCE. Chances are that the staff there is AF, not DL, so it's possible that they print BP's on AF stock and not DL, and in that case, I think we'd be back to your model above.
Are there any threads here about DL flights in and out of NCE and whether those flights are printed on DL paper?
