NWA and RVSM

[a320drivr]

Are NWA's DC9's RVSM compliant? Just wondering.

Hi!

I just JS with a NWA captain who told me the 9-10s (the little ones) R not compliant, and he heard they would be shut down vs. upgrading them. The capt said he doesn't believe it, and he thinks they will RVSM the -10s. I would assume that all the -9s aren't, if the -9-10s aren't.
