I'm scheduled on two 90s on a trip to PWM in September of this year. I'm assuming they'll be my last two flights on the model as most of my go-to domestic vacation spots are on the west coast. Given I'm about 75 days out from departure I'm guessing the equipment will hold unless there is a last-minute swap.

Delta announces MD-90 fleet will be retired by the end of 2022

My hunch was wrong, as I thought they would exit even sooner. Still a far cry from near the end of the next decade as was projected many moons ago.
I've been on many MD-80 series birds (DL MD-88s, AA and TWA MD-82/83s) but no MD-90s....yet. My daughter was on a DL MD-90 ATL-SAT last year. I took the same flight a couple of months later, but at the last moment it was changed to an 738 (738 on the return flight as well).
