Same for the max7. Southwest placed most of the orders and then postponed delivery. The bigger max and neo seem to be selling well though. Who knows? The a220 would count as a new fleet type, provide 100-130 seat lift, and allow Kirby more 76 seat rj’s at the regionals. My guess is that we’ll wait until there is a huge waiting list and then place an order.
