(Although I don't accept your premise. The MD-88 is a perfectly safe airplane. Just because you couldn't handle it or didn't want to work that hard, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the airplane.)

Handled it just fine, thank you. Where do you think my material comes from?
I've not had to call John Goodman to get me out of a crack. Any plot that involved John Goodman to get you out of a mess usually involves something that made me laugh. ...

China appears on MSP's radar, and perhaps Delta's | Star Tribune
This article states Delta is re-fleeting with 787s and A350s. Did I miss something or did Delta finally decide on a new wide body? Maybe this was speculation on the reporters part?

Did anyone else read about getting 5% of our next years profit sharing on Oct 3rd? It's in a memo on the deltanet right now. That announcement and that top of scale non contract employees will be getting a 4% raise next year, 3% for not top of scale.

Delta is replacing its fleet of Boeing 747s with Boeing’s new, fuel-efficient 787 aircraft and Airbus A350s. “That fleet is going to unlock longer-haul markets,” Anderson said.
To me, it sounds like pretty specific. If he had said, "airplanes like that" then it's just conjecture. But reports miss-quote things sometimes or take things out of context.
Personally I don't think the A350 is mature enough for us to order, but that's just me.

They haven't announced anything, but the quote in the story is:

The "new" A330 seems to be more up Delta's alley in my opinion.
