DL adds BOS-AUS/BUF/JAX/MCI/ORF
I can't find a press release yet, but the OAG thread at a.net reflects these routes added starting in the fall.

BOS-BUF seems to be picking up the capacity that American (Eagle) is dropping. And DL has been (slowly) adding capacity to AUS. RDU was added, SEA is starting, a third JFK has started, and I think an eight ATL was added (though that may be more of a frequency add than a capacity add, as the 757s and 739s seem to downgauge with the additional flight). Can't help but think/hope DL has some designs on AUS.

As for MCI, WN operates the route, so it's something of a competitive response. It's also true that there are some companies that shuttle back and forth between cities.
With AUS, there's a rumor that Delta has signed a lease on a SkyClub to be opened there when the airport expansion is completed.

There was a recent thread stating that the new East Concourse extension in AUS will include space for a lounge for a "legacy carrier". One would assume that this would be for DL as AA and UA already have lounges their.

I'm hoping it's a SC, but it could conceivably also be a new AA or UA club.

The MCI service is a resumption from 2012. State Street/SSGA has a major back office center in Kansas City.
Other additions clearly target B6.
