Does anyone know the hours/cycles on the airframe?

 

[General Lee]

Nope. There are currently 14 trips in open time on the ATL DC9 B (FO ), through Jan 21st. Looks like they are still flying.

Did you hear that Delta is getting 88 717's?

 

[Buzo]

Although that was the "official" last flight, it will still fly until Jan 22.

then it's not the last flight. you can't "officially" graduate and then study one more semester. It's called non-sense

 

[Diesel-9]

Last scheduled flight. Still available for use as spare and open time til last crews go into training later in the month.

Looks like a Dominican airline wants to buy 20 of the DL DC95s:

This from CH Aviation:

PAWA Dominicana (7Y, Santo Domingo Las Am?ricas) is to reportedly acquire twenty DC-9-50s from Delta Air Lines (DL, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson) following the US carrier's recent decision to phase out the type from revenue service. According to informed sources, the Dominican startup also plans to use two ex-Northwest Airlines (NW, Minneapolis/St. Paul) DC-9-30s, HI-869 (msn 47566) & HI-876 (msn 47046), and a single ex-American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) MD-82, HI-914 (msn 49476), all of which are currently in storage at Santo Domingo Las Am?ricas. PAWA Dominicana plans to resume operations later this year and is a sister carrier of Venuezuela's Aserca Airlines (R7, Caracas Sim?n Bolivar).
