Delta operates a relief flight to the Bahamas
Delta Air Lines made this announcement: A Delta MD-88 loaded with supplies departed Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Sunday morning for Marsh Harbour, Bahamas. The airline is working to determine whether additional flights are needed. The Delta Flight 9994 departed Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood Sunday morning, landing at 10:59 a.m. at the Marsh Harbour Airport to deliver 4,700 pounds of critical supplies. Once supplies were unloaded, the flight departed for Nassau with 72 evacuees. (worldairlinenews.com) More...

There was a post a few days about how Delta had a better reputation than other main carriers. Add this to the list of reasons.
American Airlines did the same from Miami.
Congrats to Delta for stepping up.
Delta also operated a similar flight Monday morning.
Delta has always had more class
This brings up an interesting prospect.. Is there a freighter option for the MD80/MD90/B717? I ask, because that could give the aircraft a second life, similar to the B737BCFs If the other large aircrafts at that time (B727, B737, etc.) could be converted to freighters, could not the MD80 series as well?
