One week into bankruptcy, DL will tell the world of its plan to reduce domestic capacity, esp. that which carries connections, and to increase international flying - although all route specifics may not come Thursday.
Fleet downsizing will come along with new outsourcing, lease rejections (facilities and aircraft), along with employee paycheck restructuring.
Some details will leak out by tomorrow.
Delta will say that it will be the most profitable US airline.
And it has no plans for a merger... which is the only legitimate statement it can make given that management's first priority is to maximize the value of the Delta estate - and mergers are inherently costly and risky.
