If Delta plans to park more 9's then that's delta's plan just like if they take 9's out of the desert.
NWA started the year with about 100 DC-9's. The original fleet plan had them down to 68 by year end. A fleet plan revision in late spring changed that number to 62 at year end. I called a NWA friend and he believes they have about 70 left now so there are 8 more to be parked in the next month. He has heard of no plans not to park those aircraft. On a somewhat related note Delta is bringing 4 MD-88's out of storage to replace RJ flying.
