Delta partnerships with 9W and IT finish in Oct 2012

Just a heads up for those looking to earn/burn 9W and IT miles/flights on DL and vice versa.

DL partnership with 9W over on Oct 15, 2012

And of course, there is no advance notice on the 9W website of the partnership ending. I am sure they will send us an email 2 weeks before to tell us!

DL sky miles with IT over on Oct 01, 2012.

The King Club website already has no mention of Delta in its partner list. So this is a one way street even now.

Besides it being positive and oh-so-wonderful, Jet will tell us that it was a well-considered decision that's being executed brilliantly.

They may whine a bit about fuel prices.

And the whole thing will be written in a language somewhat resembling English.

How will it only resemble English and not actually be English?
Fuel prices aren't even a problem, considering the price of oil had dropped in May.
(I still have oil calls at 90!)

Because many JetChildren aren't fluent in English. Or at least their press releases make it seem that way

The price of ATF is not directly tied to the price of oil.

Tell that to Jet. They have managed to link it to everything, especially service cutbacks, product deterioration and freefalling quality standards.

9W may join *A, but the end of this partnership has nothing to do with that any more than the partnership was an indication of intent to join SkuTeam. All partnership agreements have defined life.
