The 9's make up 1/3 of NW's fleet. I doubt they would give up that much of their flying. the A318 would be a perfect fit into their fleet and I wouldnt be surprised to see them ordering a bunch from Airbus soon. I do agree that some of the old DC9 flying will go to the regionals, but not all of it.
