Then he said, but actually the 739s are worse. He said they're having a lot of problems with it and the interior not holding up.

True?
To be fair to the 90, it's been rare the last few months to fly one that had a MCO on it. I've seen more write ups on 88's than 90's lately, no idea what MX did to those birds but it's working.
