The Delta Professional website (geared at travel agents) offers a very comprehensive guide to pet travel on Delta, Delta Connection and partner airlines.

Delta allows pets in the cabin in First Class on domestic flights, so, yes, you are able to fly F with him. Call Delta to determine maximum carrier dimensions allowed - they are aircraft-dependent.
As capacity is limited to two pet carriers for the first class cabin and they are accepted on a first-come,first-served basis, make arrangements as far in advance as possible.

It is not as simple as "Europe". EU with a subset of UK/ROI may matter as may aircraft time. All explained in detail on DL's website:

Delta One on international routes, no matter the destination, is not allowed with pets in the cabin. Internationally, on Delta one needs to travel Economy with a pet.
JV partner Air France also prohibits PETC in business class on longhaul flights ( but allows them in F, PE and Y), as does KLM, where passengers with pet carriers have to travel Economy. Virgin Atlantic is not an option at all.The only Delta partner where pets in the cabin are OK in business class transatlantic is Alitalia. 10kg weight limit, $200 one way (EUR 250 on the way back).

OKC-ATL is MD88 so I should be okay but ATL-GSP is an RJ. So what would happen with the RJ with no FC? Must I fly to ATL then take a rental to Spartanburg?

I am looking at taking spouse and 13 lb Lhasa Apso in late Dec to GSP. This is a one-way FC ticket as I will be picking up an X5 at the BMW plant in Spartanburg.

However, if you are flexible with your timing and willing to juggle connections around a bit, there's options where you'll be able to sit in F on both segments: Endeavor Air (dba Delta Connection) offers some ATL-GSP flights on CRJ 900s, and those have 12 F seats.

The airlines have really restricted ESAs. Never on flights > 8 hours (Atl to Paris 8 hour 15 min - NOT allowed). (JFK to Paris 7 hours 45 min - Allowed). Nice you go through Paris so no problem if it is a Delta (US registered). BUT, I don't believe Delta has a direct flight from JFK anymore. If the CDC to NCE is Air France Not allowed. Your best bet is to fly to Paris and then train to Nice. American uses British Air and again NO. I also don't think any US airline flys from Nice anymore.

Has anyone flown under the new rules. JFK to Paris is 7 hours and 45 min (atl in 8 hours and 15 min) but on return, both are 30 min longer. Am I going to have problems in Paris coming home. I note that American does not have this restriction. I guess I could call her a service dog but....
