There are a lot of cities losing a frequency out of the last DTW departure bank. DTW-PIT goes all-CRJ. DTW-ORD even starts seeing CRJ's. One bright spot, DTW-OMA gets E75's.

Sure looks to be a lot more CRJ flying at the expense of CR9/E75/DC-9 flying.

Looks like they may be putting more DC-9-30's out to pasture later this year, along with the 757's and MD-88's they mentioned on the last quarterly earnings call.


I wonder where the CR9's are all going... They're obviously still in service. Did NW have any more on order? I figured that was going to be their plan for replacement of the DC-9's when they were to be retired.
