I think we'll be flying MAX 7's either way. I don't think the new type rating would amount to more than a quick differences course that can be done in a recurrent or bringing everyone back for a day like they did with the MAX RTS. The difference would be that the bureaucrats would be happy to push more paper and get 10k new "applicants" just from us.
