As long as the plane gets there within 15 minutes of the published schedule and the F/As provide decent service the public could give a Shiite about what kind of plane it is. Given the collective American attention span they'll forget about the MAX issues as soon as the cancellations go away.
Probably very true.
My whole point before the name calling began was how prudent do we find it that any company (not necessarily Alaska or Southwest) would bet the entire future of their enterprise on an airplane with a blatantly tainted reputation. None of us (well maybe a few) would invest our entire savings in any one stock, let alone go Vegas and bet the thing on black.
