I know that it is not for covering this summer.
It was Gearjerk that mentioned/brought up about the covering of summer flying.

Sure would not take much to "total" a MD88. Figure parts are cheap, but if both engines come off figure that would render the rest "salvage" in short order. Guess the upside is that it could not have been hurt that bad if they are repairing it.
Most hail will not do much damage, it is heavy enough to get spun out the bypass ducts. What really tore up Southern's DC9 was getting water in the core, which it could not be compressed.
There are a ton of used serviceable 737 and Douglas parts. Unless the part numbers are specific to the "88" or NG they can be had very cheaply.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, <picture person drinking a nice cold beer on a hot day> that's refreshing......more doom & gloom.
Of course the company couldn't be "behind", and have made a mistake by "not" hiring pilots and are just now putting forth smaller AE's to staff the smaller equipment as they need for summer flying. (Read: So they don't have to cancel domestic trips for lack of crews.
)

P.S. Continue the "sky is falling, we'll never hire, never get a raise, never make it to the left seat" banter. I prefer to maintain my excitement for the fall when we "do" hire, and for the future of Delta Air Lines and it's pilots.

FWIW I think we'll hire in 2014 but I don't think it'll be gangbusters or "growth" even by today's 1000 pilot deficit over the last few years.

Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin in 2012. Ann and Nancy Wilson cover "Stairway to Heaven," leading Robert Plant to tears. Awesome!

When I was younger, I thought Led Zeppelin was just another band. Then I thought they were a great band. Then I thought they were one of the best bands ever. Now I realize, as they are growing elderly, that there will probably never, ever be another band that even comes near. Once in a lifetime.

I would give the reps (maybe the non salesmen ones) a call and ask them what they think the future number will be. I have. Was disappointed.
