Since this is a relatively slow-to-show-results process, I'd give at least 6 months before Delta decides to make changes (and then, a full reversal might not be the case anyway).

btw...I thought the argument on here was that all the DM were leaving anyway? If that is the case, we don't need to worry about that argument.
In my world, "expect" does not mean "maybe 1/3 of the time". Even though I'm fully eligible for upgrades traveling, say, NYC-MSP, I mostly don't get them; I certainly don't expect them.
If it's sufficiently important to me to sit up front then I'd pay for it rather than roll the dice and probably lose.
And "all the DM were leaving anyway" is your strawman, not an argument made by any real person. Some DM are leaving, in whole or in part.
