The introductory letter also mentions the DC9, but I don't see a directive for them yet.

To All B727 series and DC9 series operators ...

If they do ground the DC9s, then we won't have much left of 1time airline either. That will really hurt.
 
I thought 1time flew MD80s...

edit.... ok I see that the MD80 is later version of the DC9..
