EVA Air Fleet Revamp Boon
For Delta’s MD-90 Operations
Taiwan’s EVA Air is planning to reduce its freighter fleet and phase out its MD-90 passenger aircraft. President Austin Cheng says all 11 of the MD-90s are being sold to Delta Air Lines, with five scheduled to be transferred next year, three more in 2015 and the last three in 2016. Delta repeatedly has espoused the benefits of operating MD-90s and earlier this month said it intended to expand the fleet.

I was doing some research. I see EVA AIR operates 5 MD90s and 6 MD90s are leased to Uni Air, which appears to be a feeder for EVA AIR. So the 11 total MD90s are there. I just have to see if I can find an article that says they are being phased out.
EVA Interested In 777X And 787-10
Very last line says they are phasing the MD90s out.

FTB My experience has been mostly on the 9. The PAC designer of the 9 was apparently from Finland because he most certainly tried to replicate a sauna. My few experiences on the 90 have been quit nice compared to the 9. I would like tech ops to bring over from the 9, only one thing. That one thing is our sweat California car shades! Other than that my seniority at this company does not allow me to get a real scientific sampling across the fleets
The hoses you see going to the tail are completely collapsible by the time it clears the connector.

The 90 with no APU, it's abnormal when its working, is hot. We should've and threatened to deplane but ops couldn't hear us because another 90 crew was threatening to do the same. The third huffer cart finally got us air.

Well that's not true, half the legs they wont even hook up the air because "It takes to long to stretch out an extension hose to the tail" or "they don't have an extension" Convenient
I'm just happy when we can keep it down to 90 degrees in the cabin during boarding.

If these guys didn't trade paint with the runway, it's definitely about as close as you can go without doing so..
