Hey guys,
My new book is coming out on September 7th and I will be on Fox & Friends that morning (this is not an advertisement moderators, just passing on some info) and possibly O'Reilly and/or Hannity that evening. If any NYC based DAL bros are around then, love to share some lies over some beers downtown. Just let me know.

Delta has put all the original 3 Hello airplanes into service. There are 9 China Eastern in storage/mod for a total of 28 MD-90 on property. If these 8 airplanes in the SAS release are headed Delta's way they are most likely the remaining 3 Hello and 5 Blue 1 aircraft leased by those airlines from SAS. The original poster has the same numbers I do for JAL (16), EVA/Uni (11), and China Southern (13 with 11 US built and 2 China built).
Saudia had an accident with one of their MD-90's in May, 2009, and some websites show another one to storage in August after what looked like a significant APU fire event. That would leave them with 27 aircraft that are substantially different than Delta's. Lion Air crashed one, so they only have 4 left. I think they're not certified to operate to/from the EU, so I can only imagine what shape they're in. Uni had one burn up in 1999. 3 Air Aruba jets have been scrapped. There are several on planespotters listed in storage.

I can't image we'll bother with the Saudia birds unless they are essentially free. And even then it'd be a tough call unless we we're all OK with a category-in-a-category.

I agree, it depends. If they can get approval to run with a jet we have on property or another one then maybe.
