partner rules changes for 08?
I know 2 years ago, Delta gave only 50% EQMs for some fare classes, but CO always gave 100%. This year - the reverse.
Any info on 08, before I decide to book miles on Delta for Jan?
Nothing I could find on nwa.com
thanks

Did you even try? Pretty obviously not.
Just following the obviously-named "WorldPerks" | "Earn Miles" | "Northwest & Airline Partners" links in the NWA.com menu would have brought you to this page: http://www.nwa.com/worldperks/earn/airfl.shtml
Clicking on the Delta link I'll leave to you as an exercise.
BTW, you're at least 2 years outdated on the EQM issue. I only started flying NW 2 years ago and the CO/DL issues were the same then as they are now - and the opposite of what you recall. Those changes happened before that. DL is 100% EQM on coach fares regardless of fare class. It's CO that has the 50% EQM issue on low fare classes. Both those were that way at least since early 2005 when I started flying NW.

Maybe time flies when he's having fun.
Delta reverted to 100% milage over 3 years ago, and NW reciprocity followed soon thereafter. I flew my first MR on DL commencing Jan. 29, 2005.
CO's 50% mileage has been around for as long I've been around here. They adopted DL's bad idea & stuck with it.
If there are any changes, you'll have to wait & see like the rest of us. Last I heard, the crystal balls were down & had been removed from MELS.
