For some reason, a rumor like the above seems to float around occasionally. But think about it, if it did have a shred of credibility.
In a fantasy world, sure, DAL can bypass PCL/CPZ (non-flow), XJT CRJ pilots, etc etc etc etc.
Again, in a fantasy world, DAL can hire non DCI pilots and "poach" other legacy regional feeders. Sounds like a great plan, right? Well, till UAL hires DCI pilots, AA starts hiring DCI pilots, USAir hires DCI pilots. Meanwhile AA doesn't hire non flow American Eagle/American Connection pilots, but hires UAX/DCI pilots. USAir hires only non USAir Express pilots, and on down the line. See where that logic of not wanting to decimate their regional feed starts to fail?
And how in the hell would they straighten out the regional carriers that can have pilots fly 2 or 3 different paint jobs in a single trip?
