Mesabah is making the assertion that they will reduce the number of 76 seat RJs (in compliance with the LOA) by using the “parked 76 seaters” to replace old 70 seat jets.
I.e we will use the MRJ 900/E175 to replace old ratty MRJ700s/E170s since we can’t use them as 76 seaters. Which is separate from the “make all 76 seaters in to 70 seaters.

Ahh, I see that now, thanks.

Another thing to consider, is that the Covid19 crisis has already shrunk DCI permanently, DAL can simply block seats to comply, instead of actually parking jets. It's hard to say how DALPA will handle that, since you are reducing ASMs, and not actual block hours.

This is Delta’s interpretation also. In the grand scheme of things, DAL and DALPA would likely negotiate a new LOA before they park 35 and start removing seats from the others when the time comes to deal with it.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but who at Delta have you talked to has made this determination? It’s probably not a stretch to say no one because DALPA hasn’t even addressed this topic publicly. I ask you to reread the language I posted above. It’s clear cut that the flow-down agreement has to be renewed or they must park the 35 jets. CPZ has “ceased to be available” and given the lack of a new agreement, those jets have to be parked until, like you said, a new LOA is reached or a new DCI carrier takes their place.

That is the interpretation we heard from our union that Delta would take

Not to mention, when the DL & WestJet JV gets approved, it's going to reduce the number of RJ's needed. Go back prior to the Delta & Aeromexico JV, look how much RJ flying was done to Mexico, some out of ATL, some LAX, some SLC. Look who does it now, hint, its not a DCI carrier... Same thing is going to happen with Canada.
