The specifics are anyone’s guess but there are definitely deals being made with someone for something other than the 737.
We're retiring 700's....that's not changing. We're getting Max 8's....slower than we need new planes. We want Max 7's....but Boeing can't build a plane to save their life. So do we keep getting 175 seat planes that we really don't need (we need 150 seat planes to offset the 700's leaving)....or do we buy another airframe from Airbus (220 would be a perfect fit)? We can always sell off the airbus if Boeing gets their **** together....I just don't know how much longer they can kick the can down the road before it falls off the cliff and explodes.
