Plus 220’s to fill the gap, flown by mainline, but that’s just my guess.
What if Boeing agrees to buy Alaska out of Airbus leases to sell more MAXs? Just because AAG says “we never break leases” doesn’t mean they wouldn’t let someone else pay for it.
They love the performance of the 321NEO, but once we get the MAX9 flying I think it’ll be further apparent there is no long-term need for the 321.
