I understand your point that the equipment is 75E, but the press release speaks to conversions for the 757 transcon fleet specifically, not all aircraft of the type.
Extracts from today's press release, emphasis mine.
All of Delta's Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft
serving these transcontinental markets will offer the flatbed seats over approximately the following 24 months.
Sixteen full flat-bed seats
on the updated transcontinental 757 fleet...
Prior to the full cabin modification and by next summer,
the transcon 757 fleet...
Maybe the rest of the 757 Business Elites will get upgraded on a different timeline. Maybe they'll go away and DL will upgauge to 767s or drop the routes. Maybe they had the staff who normally do promo T&Cs write this press release and they've done another bang-up job! I look forward to clarification, a broader press release - or the strings of invective that will come when some people here figure out that their BE seats really will still be 150-degree recliners.
