As the only competitor interisland it makes sense to compare load factors regardless of seat capacity. The 737 max is definitely not the right aircraft for the market.
The Max 8 is not the right aircraft...and we're waiting for the max 7 of which i think we ordered 250? Using the Max 8 though is less painful given the price we are getting them for. Makes the CASM math work out a little more favorable. Take 15% of our RASM out of the market once we get the preferred AC out there and then lets see that comparison.
