The wiki was last updated August 2014 but shows that MVPG gets a free checked bag. That's no longer true I think....

Nope, it's not. I fixed it (and you should have been able to as well --- just open the Wiki and click the edit button in the lower right side).

I couldn't remember so that's why I left it on. There's still some run out as tickets purchased prior to May 1st still have the baggage benefit

Tweaked the Wiki to show the pre-May 1 ticket baggage rules: 1 free bag for MVPs and two free bags for MVPGs/75ks.

Do AS MVPG 75K's have any priority on Delta over a MVPG? I booked a ticket on Delta right after earning MVPG 75K and my Delta confirmation shows Gold Medallion / Elite Plus - Medallion Upgrade Requested?

Is this the same for AS Gold and 75K?

No AS elites are lumped together at the bottom.

And I was just told by @DeltaAssist via Twitter that AS MVPG no longer get any upgrades on DL. This was after I checked in for my DL flight and was not added to the WL.

My wife flew Sunday and was not automatically added to the waitlist but her flight showed as "upgrade eligible" on DL.com with her MVP # in the reservation. On her outbound flight on 1/21, she was upgraded automatically at T-90 minutes for one of the flights in her PNR.

Had a flight early this month where the DL gate agent informed me that upgrades for AS elites had changed because the AS-DL relationship was declining. She claimed that upgrades for AS elites were only allowed on DL mainline metal as of May 1, 2014. This particular flight was a Delta flight on an OO-operated CR9, and thus, not eligible for AS upgrades.

The flight went out with 3 empty seats in F.

that makes no sense whatsoever for two reasons. (1) if you are at the bottom of the list anyways why would they discriminate between mainline and express metal and (2) both i and my wife have been upgraded on multiple OO and other express flights since 5/1/14 out of SMF, LAX, STL, SLC, and ATL...among others.

sorry, but you got jobbed. mind sharing what station this was at so we can watch out for this MOLA?

Yah, I knew it was BS when she told it to me but chose not to push it as I already had an exit row and the flight wasn't that long. She didn't want to upgrade and just made up a reason to justify her actions.

This was at PHX.

to make a point i probably would have tweeted DL Assist or called DL and had them put me on the list, then gone back and said, welp i'm on the list, are you going to upgrade me now?

and if she still said no, screenshot the list and send it into DL as a complaint.

i'm also a complete jerk, so there's that.

Booked a DL domestic award ticket using my miles for a friend who happens to be an AS MVPG.

The AS website is totally vague on what the "preferred seating" benefit means (does it mean Economy Comfort??)... And also figured I should check to see if that benefit applies to award tickets.

Thanks very much in advance

It basically means exit rows. Economy comfort was lost as a benefit awhile back.
