I think one of the most significant differences is that the 320's don't have seat-back entertainment, so I guess the 737 would be favored on longer flights because of that.
I can't comment on the other 73 bases but we LA guys are constantly flying through Detroit. About 1/3 of my layovers are there. I think, also, the CVG 73 guys are doing a lot of DH'ing due to the draw down in flying there. Last time I flew through CVG, we were the only Delta mainline jet on the ramp. Its sad.
