Where will Boeing get these planes? They have current orders to fill at other airlines and the FAA has told Boeing that they can't expand production until they prove that they have a solid quality control program (considering how far they have fallen, this could take significant time). Airbus is also sold out on 321 neo's for years. Considering that we ordered around 275 Max 10's that are supposed to have already been showing up with a very aggressive delivery schedule, I seriously doubt that we see any significant near term improvement. United Next is just going to have to be slow rolled.
