I see 757's with recliner Domestic First seats on that route when I searched for random dates.
Also, it's not surprising that DL removed their 757S aircraft on this route as United also removed their 787-10 on this route 1-2 months ago and they are only operating the old 2-4-2 J configured 77E's on selected dates up to 4 January. Other than those UA flights, there is no lie-flat service on the WAS-LAX route for the near future.
