Do they all have special purple DL Reserve hats so we can easily spot them? I know we'll never know, but I'd be curious the cross utilization because with the exception of JFK*, there's really little overlap with the DL hub network. Sure you'll get some O/D pax but I doubt it'll be any kind of critical mass. As has been debated ad nauseum, a large part of why there are no Centurion Lounges at Delta hubs is because Plats already have lounge access there when flying DL.

*and before people jump on me: LGA, yes a DL hub but the CL was purposefully placed in the terminal DL didn't operate from; SEA, the SkyClub is better than the CL anyway; SFO, MIA, LAX... DL is not airside connected to the CL.
