Many passengers have enough flexibility to rearrange their plans if you tell them before they head to the airport.

Btw the only other carrier to cancel a flight on this route on Sunday was that other premier airline...Frontier 🤨
I think your statement "Delta has no idea how many flights they'll be able to complete each day" is why they are having so much trouble planning around it.
