Brent,

As it is a workhorse, this may entirely be the case.

Also correct and I wish to add that as far as I understand, there are no
strategic nor structural outstanding issues with Delta's maintenance
procedures.

Also correct, but in the case of the 737 there has been more than one red flag
in past years.
 
As for the DC10, I've flown several DC10's ever since the very early 70-ties
and never felt unsafe in them. Though here it's not just the Chicago crash of
1979. There had already been the Turkish Airlines DC10 in Ermenonville which
preceded it and then followed the same year by the Air New Zealand crash at
Mt. Erebus and the WesternAirlines crash at Mexico City landing at a closed
runway. Bad luck because the Erebus and Mexico City crashes also were not
technical but happened too close to eachother prompting the flight ban.
 
I think it was a reliable aircraft.
