That's a new one for me. What I'd heard is that the MD-90 is a unique sub model of it's engine family, which is where all the headache comes from as there aren't really all that many MD-90s out there. I could see TOC eventually going to approval to do the overhauls themselves, but my understanding is they cannot at this time.
