If this is true, I’m guessing DL is planning on or will be getting a pretty sweet deal (price) on these birds between the 737 MAX’s prior woes with the further exacerbation to slumping sales due to COVID-19. While I’m hesitant to want to fly on a 737 MAX for some time even after the grounding is lifted and would much prefer the T-tails over just about any 737 due to the 2-3 layout versus the cramped 737, from DL’s perspective it would also allow DL to consolidate its fleet, if they end up replacing MD-88s, MD-90s, and now possibly the 717s, all on (what I assume) would be the cheap.
