Jet Aligning FF Benefits with AF/KLM--DL Next?

Saw that Jet is starting to align it's benefits with AF/KLM finally; since DL has a stake and JV with those 2 airlines, any news as to whether they'll start aligning benefits with DL soon as well? Will likely start traveling to BLR next year a few times so it'd be nice to have a real option with them (other than just earning miles).

Maybe Delta will follow AF/KL and rationalize benefits with Jet, and maybe it won't. If it does it will quickly be news here.

Sure. That's why oneworld has 13 carriers + oneworld connect, SkyTeam 20 carriers, and Star Alliance 28. Gol and Virgin Atlantic are outliers - of little value in an alliance.

Much more emphasis is being put into JV alliances where coordination of schedule and price is an option, instead of just some code sharing and FF benefits.
Imagine the place AS would be in if they could coordinate their schedules with any of their partners.
