MQM's with Westjet?
I thought I remembered Delta signing some sort of agreement with Westjet, but I can't find anything on the Delta website. Is it possible to earn MQM's on Westjet?

Im planning a flight from Canada to Europe in May, and it shows using westjet for a segment from Toronto or Calgary and they both show in the MQM, so I beleive it will give you credit. I dont think there using any westjet metal today, but do a search for 6 motnhs from now and see the connections thru Canada

Westjet article in Calgary Herald
Thursday's Calgary Herald had an article on Westjet where the CEO indicated they had "applied for" code sharing with Delta. No time frame for completion was given. The second link is for more on their code-sharing strategy from 11/09/11.

Very interesting. Will be curious to see if MQMs are only on those DL-coded WS operated flights or whether MQMs will be on all flights once the agreement is finalised.
It would be a significant game changer for Delta in Canada if WS was to be a full mileage earning partner, but given WestJets own lack of proper mileage plan, I'd have to think it would only apply to DL code-shares. Even still, very interesting.

If the flight is booked as a DL flight with the DL code share flight number then you will get MQM and status bonuses.
If the flight is booked as a WS then no.

@DeltaAssist says this is not the case: "Unfortunately they're not a SkyTeam member. No mileage credit for the moment." When I asked: "Even on DL codeshared flights?" I got this answer: "Even on DL codeshare flights. No credit earned. Please continue to check online on the frequent flyer program. http://cot.ag/pufXZv "

I have been getting 500MQM and 1250SM per YYZ LGA segment on DL coded WS flight.
It must be DL code share. It cannot be on YYZ YVR direct flight.
