depends on how you're looking at it...
DALs share of the JV SKM (Seat Kilometers) is pegged at 50% with AFKLM sharing the remaining 50%.
AF and KLM combined have the same size pie as DAL: 50%
If there's a 10% cut in SKM that pretty much means 5% of that SKM capacity cut comes out of DALs share.
Of course a 10% cut for the JV also means a 10% cut for DAL
Alitalia was added to the JV later, not sure if they diluted the AFKLM share or increased it vs DAL.
The big question is what happens when Virgin Atlantic joins the fold...
call your reps and ask them that.
