To think that it's even possible that you would have any "leverage" to get management to create other opportunities is incredibly stupid.
But more curiously, what is the difference between delta selling above and below the wing services to other airlines and pilot services?

Delta sells DGS services to other airlines at stations where Delta is already staffing and other airlines are just paying for Delta's downtime.
In the case of pilots/regional feed there's no downtime to be had, therefore Delta has no surplus to sell. Even if they DID have surplus to sell, it's probably more worth it to them to deny the surplus to competitors (see 90 CRJ's parked in the desert rather than sold)

Yeah.
That’s the ticket.

It has been so successful for Delta and I can only imagine lucrative, that United sunk a fortune into starting up United Ground express instead of relying on DGS and American Eagle. That requires a ton of capital.
