Glad to hear the Hertz recognition seems pretty quick. When they rolled out CLEAR for entrance to DL SkyClubs (shortly after DL bought a stake in CLEAR), it was quite slow, and I reverted to just scanning my boarding pass instead.

But as an ATL-based person who flys DL all the time, I will say I'm hopeful that as the technology improves and spreads, so will the experience. DL is already talking about updating CLEAR so you don't have to show your BP at security, and they have some test gates where you can use CLEAR to board. If everything lines up and works right, you could literally get from curb to lounge to airplane seat without ever showing an ID or boarding pass - and then out to a rental car on the other end if this Hertz thing expands!
