in fact, it seems they are using jets with more seats to pick up the demand Delta has walked away from. Would be funny if I didn’t care about the company a little. Was a E-145, now CRJ700

TL,DR: Everyone has a different strategy, it’s way too early to see who’s right and who’s wrong.

“Delta Air Lines is the clear winner here, as nearly every aspect of a flight has been revised to become more passenger-friendly during this pandemic while not compromising too much on service. From placards and informational signage in the gate area to blocking middle seats and maintaining an in-flight service, albeit limited, Delta is leading the way in multiple aspects.”

My knowledge is limited, but I do happen to personally know 2 VPs of national level companies. Both companies aren't even flying their in house flight departments. They both express the need and desire to fly for in person business, but they don't feel safe doing so at this time.

Forbes:
Interestingly, this debate seems to be only happening in the US. A just released report by CarTrawler and IdeaWorks shows how 25 airlines around the world are addressing the coronavirus issue. No where else in the world are people asking for middle seats to be blocked.
Nice chart for airline actions here.
