The July update is up! Here is an overview of the changes:
DL Mainline- 2 new A321neos were delivered, including one transcon configured plane that is in storage at QYF. (Note: In order to match the way I believe DL counts them in their quarterly reports, I only consider an A321neo delivered if it flies a flight under its DL N-Number; therefore, the non-transcon 321neos that have been stored at QYF don't count as delivered as they flew there under their test registrations.)
- 3 new planes flew their first revenue flight: 2 A321neos and 1 A359.
- 3 planes were retired: 1 A320 and 2 B752s.
- 3* B738s entered full cabin refresh mods.
- 4* B738s exited full cabin refresh mods.
- The B717 seat count has been updated to have one more row of C+ seats and one fewer row of Y seats as per DL's website.
* Reminder: we need your help with the 738 mods! As the seat map doesn't change and there's been at least one plane that spent significant time in maintenance that wasn't updated with the new cabin, we need people to report which 738s have the new cabin and which ones don't as they fly them. Details are in the wiki in the
Official Delta B737-700/800/900 Mods Thread. Special thanks to those who have reported which planes do or don't have the new cabins, and your continued help is appreciated!
Regionals- OO stated in their quarterly report that of the 16 new E75s they announced last month will be operated for DL Connection, 10 will be delivered in 2027 and 6 will be delivered in 2028.
- Back in March 2020, when G7 (GoJet Airlines) stopped operating flights for DL Connection, they moved a number of CR7s to 9E. Four of them were parked before flying a revenue flight for 9E. This past month, the second of those four entered revenue service for 9E.
- I added regional scope clause information to the Seat Counts tab in the spreadsheet.
Details are in the spreadsheet. The link is the same as before and the same as in the Wiki, but here it is for completeness:

P. S. To follow up on my request for help last month, I found a job. Thanks all for your support!
