That's not to say DAL isn't on the hunt for deals though, as would anyone else in the industry. Spirit has/had assets that need to be liquidated, and that requires buyers. That's how the debtors get some of their money back. DAL is also potential buyer of assets, no surprise there.
Drlta did and probably still does maintain a team that does nothing but monitor available aircraft world wide. I flew them on two occasions. Interesting talking to them and what Delta looks for in used aircraft. The vast majority of aircraft they look at get rejected.
