I don’t think I could have been more clear but obviously some are still having trouble.... the Max order will not be announced until after the Max is actually flying again. The last Boeing update had the paper work done by late June early July. There is then some maintenance that needs to happen which would likely have the planes flying again in August. If this timeline slips then so does the formal announcement of Alaska’s return to a single fleet type.
