Why would anyone give Delta X amount when they can fly a much better carrier in J for a few hundred more (or even less!). Ill take LX/LH/etc over DL anyday for some of the prices I see.
DL has competitive loads and a slight edge in yields. To the extent that there is a problem, it would seem to be yours and not DL's. And there is limited to zero evidence that they are over-valuing their product.
