I'm not shocked, but a little surprised considering all the fanfare about retiring them. I haven't seen anyone write about them being back so far either.
The MD-88s aren’t coming back into service lol. I’m not sure if you have the DL Android version of the App or not, but for some strange reason after schedule change Saturday, that specific version of the app will sometimes default the aircraft after a schedule change as being on a “Boeing (Douglas) MD-88.” The regular DL website and iOS version of the app don’t have this glitch and I’m showing JFK-STT operating as a 757 on July 5th.
