Both PM and DM get matched to Hertz President's Circle under the
current policy, so that's correct that you're PC if you are still a DL PM.
I've matched this to National for the last two or three years with no problem (I did it once, and it's never gone away). I would recommend doing that no matter what, just to have the option.
I've got a Hertz rental at JFK in about 10 days that I'm planning on picking up, I don't expect that they'll pull out of their airport markets as part of the bankruptcy at this point - that would be bad for everyone involved. In the longer term, I wouldn't be surprised to see elite deals like the DL/Hertz tie up go away, but it's anything but certain.
