Allow for contract extentions of 1 month / 5 aircraft as mainline ramps up flying.
3rd interview and hire pilots who whish to apply to fly as many of these aircraft Delta wishes to maintain.
In 10 years the problem will be solved.
My understanding is that what you envision is one of the options on the table. The questions is if you have the negotiating capitol to eliminate DCI. What will you offer management in exchange? (What are you willing to give up to make it happen?)
