It looks like initially "all 737 MAX 9 are grounded UFN" ... but things are changing rapidly.

Maybe going all in on 737 MAXs is a bad idea. Mayyyyyybe 320 series or even 220s would be a better way to diversify. The American aerospace industry has been a disaster...
I can't say I disagree. I'm partial to the Airbus, they have had their issues, too, but Boeing QC seems to be problematic lately. 50/50ish Boeing/Airbus seems to make sense -- I know Boeing is basically giving away MAXs and it was smart for United to tie up their order book. However, this is the shiz we continue to deal with.
I'd love to see United get A220s; the small jet market is working well for Delta, so 220-100s, 220-300s, and even 220-500s [should they ever develop and certify them] would be a great way to move away from Boeing b.s.
