Question on DL803 ATL-LAX on 7/24

Question guys.


I was checking out some schedules for this week and I was astonished when I came across this particular flight. DL803 ATL-LAX on 7/24 appears to be the 757-200 with the BE cabin, but is labeled as first. I am aware that Delta cabin labels have more to do with the number of the flight then anything else, but I can honestly say that I have never seen an actual business cabin labeled as "First." This 752 appears to be a rarity, I cannot find it looking 4 days in either direction, and it comes directly back to ATL as 152, but is labeled business (assuming the international flight number here).

My question is 1. My eyes are not fooling me, this is a BE equiped 752 correct? 2. Any guess as to the likely-hood of a last minute equipment swap? 3. Why would DL use this 752 on this particular day and on no other days in the month of July?

Thinking about getting a seat on her, but dont want to schedule my trip to specifically be on a BE cabin if it probably wont hold. Thanks for the insight, as always!
