It depends on how any change is implemented. Keep in mind: this is unconfirmed and may not actually mean anything. DL's C+ system has borne from its tiny C+ cabin. UA doesn't have that issue. On most routes, either (a) there will never be enough E+ space for everyone, however they tier it (e.g., SFO-ORD), or (b) there is plenty of E+ space for all Premier members plus anyone who wants to buy it.
If they do make a change, and they copy DL, then Platinum would get the same treatment as 1K/GS. But it's not
necessarily the case that a change is in the works.
