In storage:

9222 - MD-90-30 - 14-Dec-97

9223 - MD-90-30 - 30-Mar-98

9224 - MD-90-30 - 30-Jun-98

9225 - MD-90-30 - 01-Oct-98

9226 - MD-90-30 - 13-Dec-98

9227 - MD-90-30 - 26-Mar-99

9228 - MD-90-30 - 31-Mar-99

9229 - MD-90-30 - 14-Nov-96

9230 - MD-90-30 - 31-Oct-96

9265 - MD-90-30 - 19-Sept-00
They are not mystical. I think he is referring to my speculation. As Ed stated 100 Newer Airframes. Even with those 30 and the allowable 70+seat jets, there are still some jets unaccounted for in that figure.
