There is a price premium for most Delta seats on any route served by multiple carriers.

Yet the seat blocking policy seems to be working well for us. I was a big critic initially but Delta is getting strong positive reviews and now carries over 30% of all domestic businesses travelers. We have far more pricing power than our competitors. My family has been buying a lot of tickets lately and Delta has been the most expensive option every time often by a large margin. In some cases double what American is asking. Frontier is basically letting people fly for free! It appears management is making the right choices with seat blocking.
This is correct. Say what you will about Delta management, but they know their customer and their market. They have the data they need to make decisions on this. They have been charging a premium for their product for years and continue to do so. AA is packing them deep and selling them cheap. Delta is taking a different approach and it will work. With that said, demand isn't going to get anywhere near 2019 levels for a long time, so buckle up.

You were at EDV recently correct?
Just would like to know for perspective.
Thank you and I understand if you do not wish to answer my question.

2011 would be fine. We were profitable in 2011.
