Naturally, anyone sitting in UC/D1 still gets to enjoy the Clubhouse, whether he/she is a Medallion or not.
The joint partnership updated rules page is now quite confusing, since near the top it says that DM/PM can enjoy the FastTrack lane, while in the small writing near the bottom it still says that they can use the UC private channel.
While the argument that the Clubhouse would be swamped with Delta Medallions, now that all DL flights have been concentrated in T3, has merit, downgrading them to the FastTrack lane does not seem as justified.
However, when all is said and done, Delta's manoeuvres only mean that Medallions go from using the nice SkyTeam lounge in T4 or the Clubhouse, to the lesser No.1 Lounge, which I'm not even sure has showers available.
Notably, the updated rules page states that DM/PM can use Revivals on arrival, which makes me think that perhaps Delta might be closing their own arrival lounge opend just recently.
Strange that crowding considerations seem not to apply in this case...
