I have also heard there may be some white-tail MAXs being looked at (amount/timeline UNK)....maybe in conjunction with lease turn-ins?...

I do know that I won’t be told what’s going to happen until it does nor will my opinion be solicited.

I don’t suspect the 717 fleet will be around in the same numbers beyond two years from now...but have zero evidence or sources for that summation.
