Is Delta changing the MD-90 missions

For a long time I only saw Delta MD90s flying primarily out of KSLC and KDFW(before the hub was closed) But as of late I have seen more and more of them on the east cost. In October I flew one from LGA-CVG, one from ORD-ATL, and on Thursday I will be on one from CHS-ATL. Is the MD90 taking over some of the MD88 missions........not complaining if they do

Yes, we now have the CVG 88 base a 90 base as well. They will also be working out of MSP to both coasts here in the near future.

Count me in! I hope that exists when I get displaced out of ANC.

Mostly China Eastern or some Saudi airplanes too? I saw they're parking their -90's or will be in the near future and I think they have the largest MD-90 fleet in the world...something like 25 airframes?!?
