Looks like DL doesn't know its nose from its tail in the first segment.

It was even gonna let me book it. Oddly enough, the return was normal. I really want to book and and complain to Delta I can't make my flight. Wonder if they'd give me any Skypesos....

Note that flight 17 is a "direct" flight from ATL-SYD with a stop-over in LAX. So it probably meant to book you on the LAX-SYD segment of this flight, but ending up showing the entire flight including the first segment out of ATL.

-6 minutes to change airports between LAX and ATL is definitely possible. Clearly you forgot about the time change. 
It is an expensive cab ride though.

I've had a few of these that I actually wanted to book and tried to follow through all the way to the end. At the final screen, after putting in CC info, it'll kick it back as unbookable.
