From when one arns in 2010, if one is Platinum, one will earn 4 SWU's and receive them in 2011 (or in 2010 if one achieves PM for the first time in 2010).
Irrespective of whether a DM gets 4, 6, 10, or 1000 SWU's, does it say anywhere that we are getting anything less in early 2010 based on our 2009 flying. In fact Delta has been very adamant over the last six months that nothing was changing regarding this years flying/earning, etc.
Not 12, the most you can get is 10. Your 2009 flying qualifies you for 2010 benefits at PM or DM level, which means max 4 for PM and 6 for DM.
The main issue is if you get the PM package in Feb when you qualify for DM in 2009, and a DM package in Spring when DM starts. DL website and the insiders posts on this issue are not clear and there is a need for clarification...
