DL Segment Clarification
I'm sure this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything. I know you don't earn elite qualifying segments for Delta flights. However...
Does the same apply to NW-coded, DL-operated flights? I am thinking not.
Also, do you get segments for a DL-coded, NW-operated flight? Here I would think you do, but want clarification from someone who has done it. I'm finding fares much cheaper on NW if I book it with the DL code.

I would be interested in an answer to this as well.

Should I find something different after I fly, I'll post the result.
