I thought NWA spent millions a few years ago refurbishing much of their DC-9 fleet. I heard it was new engines and avionics. They decided to that rather than buy new planes. This was before thngs went crashing down for them. If they park the 9s, it may be for other reasons other than they're hitting high time. I could be wrong...
