I cannot say with certainty, but I do know that each row has 36" pitch, which leads me to believe the new configuration is closer to the 139 figure quoted to you by the FA's. I actually posted the DL press release when the first Shuttle plane was delivered, but have to dig to find the link.

An extra 2-3" of pitch per row in a single class layout makes me think that Shuttle 738s have about three fewer rows than mainline a/c, which would make the capacity somewhere around 138.

DL does not have a seating chart for the DL Shuttle 738s as of yet, at least not on their website. The only 738 displayed is the mainline a/c. Waiting for them to make the change. Also, airliners.net has yet to post any pictures of the new Shuttle workhorse.
