You could very well be right but I am sure DL will want the former Worldjerks (I can proudly count myself among that group) money as much as the current DL Members. The point is like it or not WE are all in the same pool now and the OP is clearly thinking that there will be some distinction between "us and them". The only distinction when the functional integration is complete will be $$ and miles.
Having said that I do think the system will be elite heavy and Silvers/Golds from both former programs will get the brunt of the devaluation. They *MAY* have to move to a LTV type system (or higher top tier EQM requirement) to sort out the high number of Plats
