Did Delta permanently remove earn with Airline Partners info?
I went to the Delta earn miles with partners page, and noticed that the partner airlines graphic was conspicuously absent. On the related links section of the page "airlines partners" is still there, but this links to a page not found
http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_.../airlines.html
I liked knowing which airlines were group 1, 2, 3 or 4 partners, and how many RDM/MQM miles and what fare classes produced which amounts on Delta partners, but the info is gone now.
Glitch or Delta purposefully removing the info? What do you think?

Just called delta because I have a run to JNB next month ticketed by AF and the CS Rep said it was most likely a glitch due to all the people accessing the website and calling in because of the delays.
No idea though.

Our web and call volume is incredibly high today however this error is unrelated. Our e-commerce team is reviewing and will work to get the pages back up as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Apparently a quick cut/paste does not translate well at all.

Can we refrain from being so snarky all the time? I'd much rather they communicate the good, the bad, and the ugly, than stay away entirely. I'm all for criticizing the airline when warranted, but when they interject with information some of us would like to hear, i'd rather not discourage participation.

Don't pick on others who just know Delta too well and see the same pattern here again.

Thanks for the replies. I'm hoping SkyMilesTeam is right that this is something that will be restored, but I am concerned it could also have been removed intentionally like the award chart.
Anyhow, I was able to use google to find some images. I don't have all the partners detail pages though - just aeromexico and china southern for now.

I think the 'If you don't have anything nice to say' slogan applies to this.

Remember that at first Dullta said (via Twitter, reportedly) that the removal of the award charts was a mistake also and that "IT" was investigating/fixing it/putting it back...then a few hours later they started saying the party line that "you don't need it, trust us."
Don't pick on others who just know Delta too well and see the same pattern here again.

While we have the eyes, apparently, of someone in communication w/the IT team, why not express our displeasure with their actions?
