Not true.
Delta and D-ALPA can decide how much flying Delta does. What ALPA can't do is let D-ALPA negotiate to harm a specific group of pilots. There is a difference.
If Delta limits outsourcing to X%, that's fine. Where ALPA gets into trouble is when they subvert the interests of one group to benefit another group, like buying an airline, stripping its code and refusing to merge it, or directing that flying NOT go to certain ALPA carriers (as NWA did when it directed flying away from its subsidiaries to avoid capex on RJ's)
