No, you can’t merge points across any airline schemes in any alliance apart from the Oneworld colective of BA, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Qatar, Finnair

Virgin is particularly poor at status points from flying other airlines, for example a 500 mile economy flight on DL only gets you 5 status points on Virgin.

Use this calculator https://miles.travel-dealz.com/en with some sample routes to see what you earn on different Skyteam. Also look on Flyertalk for the Skyteam page for lots more info.
