If true that will be the last -80 class for the year, also hearing 14 additional airbuses have been purchased to be announced OCT 1 with deliveries beginning Jan 2017. This will surely expedite the rate of -80 retirement, this may be the last new hire class to get the -80.
No way... there will be plenty more MD80 new hire classes.
