They say they want to control the regional feed by using the UAX exclusive regionals but their actions haven't backed that up.
My guess is that they don’t order a SNB and just double down on the Max.
Will be interested to see if any orders are for the 737-7. That's what would be needed to replace the 737-700 and A319 if they are going to stay away from the NSNB.
