United essentially used Air Canada capabilities here. There's no reason why Delta couldn't use WestJet's, if they jointly agreed. But my instinct is that we may see WestJet Encore flying YQR-MSP, exploiting WS's codeshare agreement with DL. (This works basically just as well; Delta would likely have a DL flight number on the flights and could sell them directly to customers.)
