On my last trip to ATL I had a detailed look at the PIL; I was upgraded from Y to PV. At least 8 others Delta SM pax where also upgraded (all elite plus). from AF point of view there is no difference between Plat and Diamond DL members are sorted with either /1 for elite or /2 for elite plus. one pax had a R1 ticket but was NOT upgraded at check in (things have been corrected once on board).
Strange enough I was the only FB elite member on that flight all others where DL Elite.
