Car salesmen must love you.
When I bought my house I gave a price I was willing to pay, below market value, and required new floors because I knew what the house was work and the sellers needed to move it as they were moving for a new career. There was no quid pro quo.
I will not vote yes on a contract that gives an inch on scope, or trades one thing for another. The company wants to grow and move passengers, and when I’m sharing responsibility for millions in revenue a day, billions in liability, and hundreds of millions in assets, you better believe I want my expertise and experience paid for as well as recovering that which was stolen from our brethren.

At best this is an impasse. If it made sense for the co to do so they would have taken the easy road.
If the company wants DAL level 76 seaters, then they can park 400 of the 50 seaters and fly DAL level number of those. Look at the 2018 contract comparison, compare work rules and pay, and look at DALs total RJ fleet (and add up all the seats)... then see whose really behind. It ain’t mgmt.
