The FAA is making up for decades of not doing their jobs by doing it too well.
SWA doesn't have the Max 7 in their plans for this year. I don't think they are being dramatic at all.
There are bigger initiatives that will take place long before the Max 7 has a airworthy certificate. I still think probably in the fall. Remember, even after that, SWA still won’t get the airplane for another six months or so. Well into 2026.
