The Delta side is obviously counting on getting a reasonable position accepted. The NWA side figures it is going to get split up the middle and presented a skewed position to throw the middle off on their side.
Both parties have their strategies. Middle is the absolute worst case for Delta, so no, no thanks. I can wait until Christmas for a decision that effects the next 30 years.
