AF Lounge is never on the list. I am quite surprised that as much as you fly, you still have not made Platinum Medallion yet to receive Complimentary CRC membership and Elite Plu Status for all SkyTeam lounges usage.
Delta and AF (and one other, Korean, I think) are the founders of SkyTeam Alliance. I don't see the possibility of Delta joining Oneworld or even Oneworld taking Delta into their alliance.
If it is true that NWA Club Membership has a better agreement which includes AF Lounge Access, then it was the mistake you made when you purchased the club membership.
Actually, I have been PM in the past. I'm not travelling as much now.
I fully realize AF lounge access has never been available for Delta CRC members! My argument is that AF appears to have reached some form of accomodation with NW regarding WorldClub members getting access to a specific lounge at CDG while Delta CRC members are left out in the cold. Recently, it seems that SkyTeam is treating DL as a "second-class member". It doesn't seem very equitable that a similar arrangement wasn't reached with DL regarding CRC members.
