N650DL is the reg, it took the Atlanta Braves to MDW following their game in IAD, and turned back to EWR with Jagger and crew in tow.

Seems like DL has slowed, not sped up, the pacing of MD-88 and -90 retirements. Per initial press releases, both types were to be gone by the end of 2019, but now that’s been stretched to early 2020. DL still has 110 88/90; If we consider “early 2020” to be the end of the first quarter, that means DL will be averaging (straight-line) over 5 retirements a month, a pacing they’ve yet to match.
That said, some sources are projecting mass 88 retirements at the end of the summer schedule.

They’ve never said the 90s would retire in ‘19. During the most recent earnings call, they said they were studying an acceleration of the 90 retirement schedule, which could now mean 2020. But they haven’t announced that publicly yet.

Typo, I meant by the end of 2020 now stretched to early 2021. The math I included should’ve given that away

I can't understand WHY DL, so customer focused, ever chose that atrocious configuration they did? Not to mention, boarding on the 319 and 320 takes forever because the bins have been rigged in a way to assist their closure, which prevents them from opening even half way down, therefore pax must stop and try to pull a bin down while simultaneously attempting to lift their bag with one-hand. How does Delta make these decisions? How much longer will the 320s and 319s be around before an estimated replacement is needed? IIRC there were two delivery batches of 320s, many are 95-1999 and the 319s have a lot of life left as most were delivered after 1999?

Already a problem child.
APU auto shutdown the first issue, and a flaps disagree the next. Let's hope the flight on the 6th does the charm.

Wrong thread! You've already posted this in the "Delta Widebody Thread - 2019". It certainly isn't at CAN being modded with the 4-class interior, so can we assume that it's in ATL for some mx perhaps?

N828MH is the tail, it's in MSP undergoing STC activities.

What does STC stand for?
