There was never a proposal that includes the airframes that you suggest.
Delta just spent millions ripping seats out of the 70s to put in a First Class.
Now they suggest they'll rip First Class out of the 90s to put in more seats? Who would believe that ruse? ALPA apparently, since they're claiming victory at preventing 80/82 seat scope.
