My guess is that MSP DC9 base goes away on the next bid. The Md-88/90 base takes over where the DC9 used to be in MSP

I took your suggestion, ACL.

Just got off the phone with the DC-9 Senior Crew Planner. He said that he doesn't think the DC-9 will be on this AE. He agreed that, with only 35 DC-9's left (after October), there would probably be some changes, but is unaware of any specifics and has not heard any rumors one way or the other.

That makes sense! :D

No reason to have it on this AE when there will be on in Aug-Sept to set up for the other stuff as well.

That would seem logical to me. And, as a new MEM guy who just got out of a nightmare RJ commute to ATL, I like it! :D
