Does anybody really think DL reacts to letters from the local chamber or executive director of the airport complaining about high fares? Take a look at the history for CVG and CVG's previous position as tops for highest fares in the US. There were constant complaints yet DL didn't budge because the market was still willing to pay.
Ultimately they did budge when CVG began to look like a prime location for a LCC to set up shop.
