No more booking LA with AA. Hopefully Skyteam won't kill it and space will one day be searchable online.

Can be interesting, let's see where this goes.

Does anyone see Delta investing in enough airlines to eventually create their own new "alliance"?

Didn't they pretty much say that already?

They practically have a stake in all of skyteam anyway.

no. Only the ones they like. Then they cursed out the rest of skyteam and said they're worthless

Interesting, AY will be keeping its codeshare with LA. Wonder if this would maintain the possibility of somehow using OW miles for LA.

Since Delta already launched their partnership with Latam on April 1st and AA's doesn't terminate till end of April, you can effectively book Latam flights using both AA miles and Delta miles as overlap for the remainder of this month.
