MD-90 going bye-bye?
 

Latest rumor from the guys on the 2nd floor...
Heavy maintenance on the -90 is almost 4x the cost of -88...Therefore, the -90s are going the way of the dodo.

Anyone with 4th floor knowledge here to confirm?
Sailingfun?
Bueller?

There will be a RFP to replace the MD90's in the Aug timeframe. I am sure it will include the expected delivery times. Probably 4 or 5 years out before the first swapout.

I heard we are going to convert some early cs100 orders to the 300 and open up that plane in ATL. Wouldn't be surprised if it coincides with 88-90s leaving even though the cs300 seats less.

I hope you guys boycott Boeing.

We have almost 200 A321's and 737-900's still to be delivered. They don't need any C series aircraft to park the 88's. They have put out they are issuing a RFP in AUG.

MD-90 going bye-bye?
 

If the C-Series is as big of a success as it appears to be on paper and in our collective heads, we won't have to boycott Boeing. There will be another major player in town, one that will hopefully force Boeing to innovate instead of stretch.

I dunno. Boeing is working on a replacement. I think it's called the Mad Max.

Yeah, but it will retain the 737 overhead panel from the early 1960s for the SWA pilots............... :D

The cockpit will be referred to as the Thunder Dome

Mad Max, Thunder Dome. Pure internet gold.
