100% correct. The company has absolutely no incentive to negotiate a quick and fair contract. There's absolutely zero downside for them to just stall for a few years until the NMB gets fed up and then they'll throw a bone.
It has very little to do with ALPA. It has everything to do with what you just said.
The only other option is for employees to buy up a hefty percentage of DAL stock and put the BoD on notice. DAL market cap is at $19 billion. About $7-8 billion should do the trick. That's about $450k per pilot.
