My biggest concern is not so much whether I can get through the UK Border Control, but whether Delta will let me board the flight from the USA; in other words, how does Delta satisfy itself that my UK ETA has been married to my US passport? Has Delta instructed its counter agents at the initial departure airport to honor a printed copy of an e-mail from the UK Home Office that the ETA has been granted should there be some discrepancy in Delta's on-line systems?
No, DL like any airline will only go by what UK systems tell them. No agent can simply ignore the UK system saying no ETA, if one is needed. (DL system sends passport number/name to UK system. UK system responds back either VALID or INVALID)
You won't get a document. Everything is electronic, just like for Australia. The email just let's you know whatever you submitted was approved.
