From their 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

Through our regional carrier program, we have contractual arrangements with nine regional carriers to operate regional jet and, in certain cases, turbo-prop aircraft using our “DL” designator code. In addition to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Comair, we have contractual arrangements with: Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc. and SkyWest Airlines, Inc., both subsidiaries of SkyWest, Inc.; Chautauqua Airlines, Inc. and Shuttle America Corporation, both subsidiaries of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc.; Compass Airlines, Inc.; Pinnacle Airlines, Inc. and Mesaba Aviation, Inc., both subsidiaries of Pinnacle Airlines Corp.; and American Eagle. 

Subsidiaries also include Delta TechOps, Delta Global Services, MLT Vacations and Delta Private Jets 

We have several other businesses arising from our airline operations, including aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”), staffing services for third parties, vacation wholesale operations and our private jet operations. Our MRO operations, known as Delta TechOps, is the largest airline MRO in North America. In addition to providing maintenance and engineering support for our fleet of approximately 750 aircraft, Delta TechOps serves more than 150 aviation and airline customers from around the world. Delta TechOps employs approximately 8,500 maintenance professionals and is one of the most experienced MRO providers in the world. Our staffing services business, Delta Global Services, provides staffing services, professional security, training services and aviation solutions to approximately 150 customers. Our vacation wholesale business, MLT Vacations, is one of the largest providers of vacation packages in the United States. Our private jet operations, Delta Private Jets, provides aircraft charters, aircraft management and programs allowing members to purchase flight time by the hour. In 2010, the total revenue from these businesses was approximately $700 million.

I don't know exactly how they're handling the flight number collation. But I can tell you that with most airlines, including Delta and the former NWA, four digit flight numbers beginning with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 generally have particular meaning. Different first digits (or the same first digit on different carriers) may indicate a code-share (and possibly who it's operated by) or a regional affiliate flight (and probably who it's operated by,) or a flight that operates only on limited dates (such as a flight servicing demand for bowl games or special observances.) Since it won't be a code-share any more, I would expect it to get a more "normal" number. But I rarely flew on either carrier, and havent yet developed mental telepathy with their computers.
