Many of you remember seeing/reading the announcement from Delta in January 2014 regarding the Narrowbody fleet upgrade. Links below:
-FT Thread: Delta invests in 225 narrowbody aircraft
-DL press release: http://news.delta.com/index.php?s=43&item=2232
-Delta Fleet on Planespotters.net
-Thread over on Airliners.net
Obviously, there have been many changes since this announcement, such as the 5 additional 757s from Shanghai Airlines, A321 order, charter-config 757s, CS100s, and so on. We will do our best to incorporate these aircraft as more information becomes available.

Delta Airlines Narrowbody Fleet Updates Master Thread
Hello FTers,
BostonPlanesAndTrains and I, with the support and blessing of the Delta forum mods, have been working on a project to update and consolidate the various fleet tracking mods. I know that this will make many of the 757 thread followers happy. Given the size of the narrowbody fleet, which would make for an incredibly long Wiki, we decided to create this master thread for overall discussion and include summary info + links in the Wiki for each fleet type. Some of the existing threads will then be merged/etc. by the mods.
So, for those of you that are interested in such things, your input and contributions to the discussion and Wikis are definitely appreciated and welcome!
p.s. expect some changes to the older threads in the near future as the mods do their magic!

Thank You...
This discussion has now been “stickemified”; and thank you to both BostonPlanesAndTrains and N515CR for collaborating on this project, which should hopefully help to significantly improve the Delta Air Lines | SkyMiles forum.

A correction is needed on the time that the B717s take for the mods to be performed at VQQ. It obviously takes more than 5 days to repaint the exterior, refurbish the interior and other mods. For example, one of the most recent birds to be completed was N717JL, which flew from GYR>VQQ on March 15th and entered revenue service on Jun 22nd flying from MSP>JFK, thus taking about 3 1/2 months for the mods. Some others have completed their mods in about 2 1/2 months, so it seems to vary from aircraft to aircraft.

this has probably been reported elsewhere, but since there are only a dozen or so 737-700s (73G) in the fleet they don't get a lot of visibility among the FTers
I'm on N301DQ ... the infamous bin-to-floor hard bulkhead between F and Y is gone; there's a solid surface extending from the bins to a couple inches below the headrests in Row 3, so the legroom and underseat storage for Row 10 resembles that of the A319/A320 (or, more accurately, 10ABC on the 739s)

Here's a little update!
1) Work on the A32X fleet has halted due to problems with the overhead bins. No word on what the solution will be. Stay tuned for more info!
2) MDs are getting mood-lighting systems similar to the BSI. Happening during the C-Check. 969 was the first a/c to be modded. Report aircraft #'s if seen.
3) 10 B76W's are being converted to domestic config. Timeline TBA.
4) The 5 B752s bought from Shanghai are going through mods. 4-5 months per A/C.

I'm actually wondering whether DL will remove the BE/Delta One seats, as some of these birds may be put on the transcons. Not sure why they would spend the money to reconfigure the front cabin with the older recliner seats. Or is that not the plan?
Apologies for posting this in the "...Narrowbody Fleet Update...", but I'm following up replies #9 and #10!
