Of course management is going to use something like this to their advantage as best they can. The guy who headed up the MIT project is a former airline consultant with an expertise in lowering employee costs. It's natural that his "report" would be slanted that way. What's really alarming is that apparently DALPA wants to hang their hat on this same selective, out of context information!

<<<<---fixed it for you.Delta thanks employees for working over Thanksgiving holiday weekend
November 27, 2013
Delta planned to show appreciation to many frontline employees who are working the holiday Thursday with turkey dinners and a variety of thank-you efforts as the airline faces one of its busiest stretches of the year.
In-Flight Service has been showing their appreciation for flight attendants around the system this month with a series of events. During this week flight attendants working the busy schedule saw everything from grab-and-go lunches [in the pilot lounge when they went to park their rollerbag in front of a computer] and hot holiday meals to hot apple cider and pancakes served in flight attendant lounges.
Many Airport Customer Service employees at Delta hubs will be served Thanksgiving meals Thursday, while other locations have holiday meals planned later in December, ACS leaders said. Some divisions such as Delta TechOps already held Thanksgiving meal events prior to the holiday.
At Delta Cargo, operational teams are set to enjoy turkey dinners brought in for those working the holiday while the customer service center staff has plans for a pot luck lunch in Atlanta and Minneapolis/St. Paul, where they will bring sides to compliment ham and turkey provided by Delta.
In Reservation Sales, a series of holiday pies and coffee are set to be available for specialists working the holiday while some stations have catered meals and trays of meats and sandwiches.
In turn, many Delta people continue to donate coats and other items to help those less fortunate during the holiday season. IFS is continuing its Giving360 winter coat and food drive this week at all bases with a goal of delivering thousands of items to those in need around the country on Dec. 20. ACS is doing its own coat drive and other divisions are participating in charitable efforts as well.

Delta Trades Empty Premium Seats for Coach on Some Jets - Bloomberg
Notice some of the 767's are also being configured to a higher density. Makes sense for places like India.
