Keep in mind that many mid-tier levels in Asia give lounge access when on that carrier - DL only does that at Plat. Giving them WC membership brings the program in line more with the Asian competition. Keep in mind that many of these people (especially the intra-Asia folks) aren't getting any free upgrades at all.

DL is keeping the benefit, it has been confirmed.

you are right. i will have flown for 65K miles this year. only a few segments are upgradeable. (most eqm are obtained via US-Asia). So. it is not really unfair.
