Anywho, we own or have aquired 30ish MD 90's at this point, correct?
I count 39 in the world that are being sold, phased out, or retired that I'm sure we're talking to the owners about (16 JAL, 13 China Southern, 5 Blue 1, 5 Lion. I'm not counting the 29 at Saudi - yet.)
Delta has already announced the lease of 5 MD-90's from SAS (last at Blue1). I think Lion only has 4 of the original 5, and Saudia only has 27 left. I don't believe all 27 of those are flying, so some of them may no longer be available.
I believe the total committed MD-90 fleet is 49 aircraft including the original 16 DAL.
