Its over 10% of your fleet. aren't you parking MD90s too? According to air fleets there are 103 MD80s and 52 MD 90s so 155 total thats a big fleet to park over a two year period.

The MD90’s are not being parked. About 4 MD88’s a month will be removed from service. They will be replaced by 7 or more 737/A321/A220 aircraft per month.

I keep hearing the company is worried about maintenance on the MD-90 engines. As in it’s hard to overhaul facilities. Could turn into a big problem short term, as in the next couple years.

And I've heard (possibly because they know they're the only shop) the cost to overhaul a 90 is about 4 times that of an 88.
