If you do have an DL eBP, even if the purple pass is earlier in the day, it still worked for me.
…but logistically, inbound (on arrival) to airports has been a problem if you don’t have onward flight, as others have noted. Because you can’t get back in…
it sounds like it will be a DL issued BP as check in takes place in RDU
