DL1554 LAX 2:45pm ATL 9:56pm 739
Note that it's not the scheduled for the same flights every day initially (e.g., DL201 ATL-DTW the next day on 11/6 is back to a 738.
So on Nov 6:
DL2049 ATL 8:25am SFO 10:43am 739
DL1420 SFO 11:30am DTW 6:56pm 739
DL1845 DTW 7:35pm LAX 9:49pm 739
DL1406 LAX 10:55pm DTW 6:25am+1 739
Nov 7:
DL201 ATL 8:45am DTW 10:49am 739
DL1257 DTW 7:35am ATL 9:42am 739
DL1655 ATL 10:55am LAX 1:07pm 739
etc.
So it's all over the place the first few days....
I don't know if it's the most reliable source but I asked on Facebook when DL posted a picture of the 737-900 at the Renton Factory (since I "like" the DL page and get their FB updates), and the official DL rep there responded that the initial flight for the 739 would be ATL-SFO on Sunday 11/3, followed by SFO-DTW, then DTW-LAX, LAX-DTW. I asked the rep which flights specifically (since the schedule shows all 757s/767s for ATL-SFO on 11/3 and for the next several days).
Delta.com is showing a 737-800 for 201 on 11/5.
