I heard that Freebird Airlines (freebirdairlines.com) will have a fleet make over with A320s for the upcoming summer season. These Md-83s are ex-Reno Air, and they were built in mid 1990s. I wish they kept the production longer. They are much more comfortable than 737s. >> They also have decent range. The problem is that you don't carry enough cargo.
