We used to get the 75S once a day in each direction as the plane rotated on/off RDU - CDG but these days it’s a 763 (soon to be 764) and I believe they will soon be switching back to then plane swapping at CDG (with the CVG route) instead of swapping through at ATL.

My question is why they don’t use them on getting back to on some thinner TATL routes but I think with the AMS and CDG hub approach, DL has largely gone away from thin TATL routes and outsourced all of that to AF/KLM as a connection.
I think till they decide on replacement for 75S we won't see these routes. IMO A321neo with flat seats would work best. Number of airline are using them this way.
