I wouldn't say they are "mystical" MD-90s, we've recently taken delivery and operating 3, for a total of 19 on the line and there are 12 in storage under going maintenance/conversion. Ed said we'd acquire about 20 more. I'm sticking with at least 49 MD-90s in the fleet in the next 18 months, possibly more.

In storage:

ship number-type-date of manufacture
9220 - MD-90-30 - 07-Oct-97

9221 - MD-90-30 - 07-Oct-97

9222 - MD-90-30 - 14-Dec-97

9223 - MD-90-30 - 30-Mar-98

9224 - MD-90-30 - 30-Jun-98

9225 - MD-90-30 - 01-Oct-98

9226 - MD-90-30 - 13-Dec-98

9227 - MD-90-30 - 26-Mar-99

9228 - MD-90-30 - 31-Mar-99

9229 - MD-90-30 - 14-Nov-96

9230 - MD-90-30 - 31-Oct-96

9265 - MD-90-30 - 19-Sept-00

The AS agreement was negotiated with NW. At least that's how I understand it...
The way I understand it there were some key players that were involved in all of them.

The AS agreement was modified to account for the NW AS agreement. IOW the Section 1 was in fact modified when DAL and NW merged...

I agree that most of these things are in place now with little room for remedies. That's why it is so important to understand and learn from the mistakes and the successes. Something that's not possible if one doesn't allow for criticism of sections that are lacking.

If we want to avoid past mistakes we need to acknowledge them, study them and ensure they don't happen again.

or

we just don't admit to mistakes and continue...

Not forecasting anything, not saying we're on fire, just pointing out the operation of the system so you understand the steps in the QRH. Hope we don't have to use it.Loyalty?
I don't unnerstand "loyalty"....

They are not mystical. I think he is referring to my speculation. As Ed stated 100 Newer Airframes. Even with those 30 and the allowable 70+seat jets, there are still some jets unaccounted for in that figure.

Be wary of 965 and 964...
they're made in China!
