All 400's gone next October, first MAX in November.
Airbus likely not going anywhere in the short-mid term.
No new SLI info.
Any guesses on what they will do with pilots currently in the VX pool? I have all the AS mins plus some and it would be a brutal letdown to lose the opportunity. Hopefully it all works out. Thanks for the info!
