It's not exempted for Delta Mainline aircraft....and Delta Connection aircraft with more than 60 seats.
If you're on one of the remaining, luxurious 50 seat aircraft, you can be compensated with a voucher but, no cash.
Normally, if the aircraft is Mainline or Connection with more than 60 seats, I've heard that they will try and pull enough bags and cargo to offset the weight/balance problem.
