Also keep in mind that Delta is not getting a new slot at DCA. This just allows them to take an existing in-perimeter slot and use it out of perimeter.

Delta just sold off a bunch of DCA slots. SLC-DCA makes financial sense, and that's the priority these days at Delta. Just ask the ham sandwiches.
