I think the point you're missing is this: If you relax scope on 76 seat RJs, they'll park the 50 seaters and they can use two 76 seat crews to get the same production as three 50 seat crews. Thus fewer RJ pilots will be needed. Then they'll use those 76 seaters to replace A319's, A320's, 71's and 73's.
Two 76 seat RJ's have roughly the same capacity, (but more frequencies and a LOT more high-yielding first class seats) as a single 717 or 319. Three 76 seat RJ's will replace 737's, MD-80's and 320's and Delta will gain 3 times the frequency plus 24 additional first class seats.
Yes the DCI model (as it currently exists) IS failed. But that doesn't mean that they can't tweak it a bit and make it work again, IF YOU LET THEM.... at the cost of mainline jobs. They'll take as much as you'll let them have.

To you, that doesn't seem like a concession, but you need to look further down the road than the increased credit for vacation.
Wait until we merge with Alaska and our number two B-777/B-747 captain gets merged in right behind their number one B-737/A320 captain and their #1 pilot becomes #2 on our entire seniority list.
