My most frequent flight by far and the delta one upgrade was nice while only gold. Though maybe I'll stand a chance on 757 at off-hours now as a platinum.
Welcome to FlyerTalk. My guess would be: no. DL seems to be much more passive lately with SFO; 767s and even A330s were common not too long ago. Now seems to be a lot of 739s and 757s. My guess is that a UA fortress hub and AS major hub makes SFO just not that appealing for DL.

On the other hand, SJC has seen a pretty major DL buildup. SJC-SLC was mostly CR2s just 5 years ago, was upgraded to CR9s and now is virtually all mainline. SJC-SEA didn't exist 5 years ago and now is mostly mainline as well. SJC-ATL went from one 738 to three 739s and now sees 757s regularly.
