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.
You can get ORC, but only if you don't claim a refund. If you claim a refund then DL doesn't give credit. Also really can say that your what they're looking for in PMs if can't figure out a way to add three segments in 4+ months either 1)by adding a segment here and there to existing reservations, or 2)flying a MR.
