So uncomfortable. the only scenario I can think of is ordering some in the future to replace the 737-800 in 5-7 years or so, but I hope to god no!!!!
It seems to be an unsubstantiated rumor that comes from conjecture that this would be a time to get a good deal on them. I would expect us to order more NGs before we got the MAX. Regardless, I would be surprised if any airline would announce a max order while the fleet is grounded.
