If you look long term at this, Delta could decide that they make more money by just having shares of foreign airlines. They could decide to do cost cutting on the Delta name brand and increase profit margin by basically becoming more of a holding company.
Short term gaining pay rates vs profit share would be good. But if you look long term there is a chance you will want the profit share more than pay rates.

If this has already been discussed at great length I apologized.
