So the roumer of a base chief pilot mentioning an "MD90" category in MEM doesn't seem to hold much water.
Now if he had said there were going to be 45
MD88's in MEM, that would be different story
I know, I fly MD88s out of ATL. This 320 FO I knew from the past came up to me and provided that rumor. Yes, I know it would be an MD88 category out of MEM, but he stated that he heard 45 MD90s would be going to MEM. It sounded strange, but I posted it, as a rumor. I NEVER SAID there was going to be an MD90 category in MEM. Just that 45 were supposedly headed that way. We are getting a lot more MD90s in the near future, so that rumor has merrit. Maybe Delta will fly a lot of them from MEM to all points, and that may mean an MD88 pilot base there.
