Based on my travel schedule losing these three segments just cost me Platinum for next year. I contacted Delta and asked them to credit me the segments and if they don't I am going to status challenge to United and be done with them. I would suggest to Delta that they offer all impacted fliers the points and segments to those who abandoned itineraries.
Weird science there with the math equations. If you drove 8 hours, what was the flight...500 miles? Its August. You can't fly two or four flight segments in 4++ months? Not much elite about travel patterns that cant accommodate that. Dl should probably email you the ual pdf timetable
