Really?

You may have information not stated in the call, but during the first Q&A Ed specifically said it was "Delta operated metal" when answering the question about the continuing domestic reductions.

MEM's definition as a "complimentary hub" to flow around Atlanta's capacity constraints tells me this is a reliever for Domestic passenger flows. As we pull down domestic capacity and park our smallest mainline jets, it does not make a lot of sense to upgauge the remaining flying while maintaining the current schedule. Not stating categorically that your post is not truthful, but it does not make sense based on the data points presented to our owners. For your statement to be true, we would experience a 15 - 30% capacity increase at MEM.

Further the LONG TERM trend to pull out of domestic market O&D flying in favor of serving domestic just to flow traffic into international operations does not bode well for any hubs that do not perform at least some sustainable level of international flying.
