It depends. If there's no jetway/gate or normally no DL service there, probably not unless DL gets very desperate. OTOH, if the three hour tarmac limit is close, DL is likely to open the door and allow folks to deplane rather than face DOT fines and bad publicity.

Checked bags could be a big problem.
