What flying JFK to ATL takes

It is a short-haul sector, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Delta Air Lines needs a narrowbody such as an A320 or 737 family aircraft: comfortably inside single-aisle range with fuel to spare for a diversion. In daylight the sun sits on the left (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.
