Bigger Cut
Delta CEO Richard Anderson acknowledged on April 26 that there was “significant industry overcapacity” on trans-Atlantic routes, and the Atlanta-based carrier said May 6 it would pare seating in the market by 8 to 10 percent following the Labor Day holiday in September. Delta President Ed Bastia said today at a transportation conference that the figure is now 10-12 percent.

I believe that's still referring to the total cut among ALL airlines in the JV. I believe the JV requires DAL pilots to have the largest piece of the pie.
