Outside of DL insiders, I don't think anyone knows unless there's someone who tracked HMVs (heavy maintenance visits) in 2019. (HMVs are required once every six years; the reason for the current retirements is that DL has decided it's not worth the money to put these 30+ year old airframes through another round of them.)
