Purpose or Role in Game
Regional jet
Why should this aircraft be added?
To complement the earlier suggestions of B717 (MD-95) and the MD-80 family by also including the in-between MD-90, the rarest (i.e. least of them were built) of the three. Similarly to the B717, it would be a good fit for the in-game american airports, having been operated by Delta on domestic routes.
Airlines that use(d) it
Delta Air Lines - launch customer, the largest (and the last) operator
Japan Airlines/Japan Air System* (merged)

Note: JAS livery could be theoretically added as a level-up reward contract at NGO, just as we have the Varig B767 at GRU or historic liveries at MSY/IAD
