So in the meantime, what will they replace the DC-9 flying with?

Ergo my point. It is just em pesky dots again!

Dickson said the MD-90s being delivered are being brought on as we park DC-9s. That was in one of his messages on the Flight Ops page a few months ago.

Anyone know if we are stopping the silly MD90 mod of pulling out the rear galley? I mean, ONE galley for 160 people all the way in the front of the airplane. That's just silly IMO. Let's scrap that mod & get these things online.

When will the next memo come out that those on the DC-9 are frozen, can't bid off, and will hold the pay rate of which they can bid into? Doesn't seem like they are thinking of moving any DC-9 bases.

They also mentioned the updated delivery schedule due to the delays in the mods.

Good idea. A FA friend just told me our HVC (FC) are not happy about all the traffic going thru FC. The FA's are telling them to write the company.

Another issue FA's are running into is room to store trash. With only ONE galley on a 4 hour flight from MSP to the West Coast it's easy to overfill the trash cart in a short time. A FA told me on one flight the FA's had to close off a LAV so they could keep bags of trash in the LAV. This is very likely since most pax in coach bring their own food.
