Let's assume that marketing has made DL1933 operate LGA-ATL-DAB, with LGA-ATL as an MD-80, and ATL-DAB as a DC-9.

DL1933 LGA-ATL, the filed ATC callsign will be DAL1933.
DL 1933 ATL-DAB, the filed ATC callsign will be DAL933B.

The actual callsign will be something similar based on whether it has been used that day or not.
Thanks
