It does help to state something to the effect of 'based on my ST Elite status, I'd like to be switched from my current seat to seat 8C'. Is your NW status recent? It could take a week after NW recognizes your a new status level for the status to be communicated to DL. Other than having recently earned Silver, DL should not have a problem recognizing the fact that you have Elite status on NW.
