About Complimentary Upgrades
The domestic Delta One upgrade process will align with the airline's domestic First Class process, except upgrades will be awarded in the hours leading up to the flight, as opposed to beginning several days ahead of time.
Medallion Members will be eligible for Complimentary Upgrades in:
• All U.S. 50 Delta One cabins on the day of departure
• All First Class cabins worldwide (beginning up to 120 hours/5 days prior to departure depending on Medallion Tier)
• All Delta Comfort+ seats worldwide (beginning at booking a ticket depending on Medallion Tier)
• Diamond and Platinum Medallion Members may also use Regional Upgrade Certificates on any flight that is eligible for Complimentary Upgrades, including all First Class and U.S. 50 Delta One flights. These certificates are available through Delta SkyMiles' industry-exclusive Choice Benefits program
This is from a DLNet article from 11/20. Does the highlighted bullet mean that they're going to start upgrading international the way they currently upgrade (fill) domestic and Hawaii flights? If so, does this mean the end of employees last nonrev benefit? Or am I just reading too much into this?

International widebody is Delta one. Sounds like no real change there. There are international flights with first class but mostly Canada and Central America.

Yes you are. Delta One is not First Class. Those are 2 different products

I read the thread over at flyertalk, sounds like this is to compete with AA, and JetBlue Mint, domestically. So no real change to getting Delta One on overseas flights.
