Is this still true?

So if hes on your PNR its 5 bags at 70 lbs if hes not its 3 bags @70 and 2 @ 50

the whole question if a non-elite has to pay is only if 1 they dont have the Chase CC (which depending on the CC is 1 or 2 bags free Intl always 2 free even w/o the CC) 2- if they arent on the same PNR as the Elite member, meaning the PNR belongs to the Elite member 3- they arent on a Y or B fare (these grant free bags as well)
As a recently comped Plat (coming from DL), I have been looking all over co.com to find where it says Plats on TATL/TPAC flights get 70 lbs instead of the standard 50lbs. I know for the longest time, PM's on DL got 3 bags @ 70 lbs, even in Y, but it was an "undocumented" benefit.

Is this still a benefit? If so, is it documented (and I just haven't found where on co.com)?
