The retired pilot DGS-types are already required to fly the occassional jumpseat so that they "stay in the loop". Delta is not breaking any new ground here.
If you are providing training you are instructing, instructors get paid an over ride. If you can't see this is above and beyond normal ops there's no helping you. BTW, you eat whether you are at home or on the road, so why should they pay us per diem?
