I think we will end up with 62 MD90s. Or is it 58? Either way, we will eventually park a total of 68 DC9s. So we will end up with fewer MD90s then DC9s. But the MD90s have always been DC9 replacements. The B717s were never slated as DC9 replacements. That's the way I've always understood it. The DC9s were originally planned to be gone by the end of this year. And it's one case where we are replacing lower paying aircraft with higher paying aircraft.
