Because I'm wondering about the here and now and what this spells for the future near future. Also the source listed I had listed current 36 Dc-9's in service.
I do realize you parked many many DC-9's post merger (I JS'ed on them regularly), but what is done has already occurred and it's effect on your seniority list has happened (right? I'm making an assumption here), I'm more curious of the effects of this announcement and it's future effects. That is why I counted only 36. Hell, I wish you had 100+ of them still flying, life would be better for everyone, but unfortunately that isn't the case.
I don't work for DL (not directly at least), but I have a personal interest in the growth of your seniority list.

Oil's at $102. It's almost a play by play response to whatever Libya is doing with their aircraft at this very moment.
Also, two USAF airmen murdered and two injured at Frankfurt airport. The airmen were based in Britain.

FWIW, the 1998 count of DC-9s, which was probably at or near the peak:
DC-9-10: 16
DC-9-30: 116
DC-9-40: 12
DC-9-50: 35
MD-80: 8
187 DC-9 variants in service.
To think that a paltry number of MD-90s, that don't even match the mission spec (to use my DAL brothers preferred terminology), is any kind of replacement for this segment of the flying is just spin.
While I agree that any airframes at the mainline is a good thing, all this does is move the bar of scope recapture FURTHER from our goal.

When you have so many ac and bases, a few hundred extra pilots isn't a lot. We have more than a thousand at any given time out on sick, military, bypass, long term training....
