The definition of transcon does not matter unless it grants a different level of service. For DL, transcon is limited to where they have to compete against Jet Blue mint and other airlines' premium offerings. No JB Mint in Atlanta.

I personally would call transcon to be any city pair where the West-East route that could be reasonably flown by a red-eye. Typically a flight that leaves before midnight and arrives after 530am.
