If the goal is to become a true international airline it would make much more sense to go with something smaller than the max 7 to capture as much capacity as possible from the Rapid City’s of the country and feed them into the hubs like every other airline. No doubt Embraer would bend over backwards for SWA.
Totally agree with this. Canceling (or threatening) the Max 7 would be the ultimate power move because they need our orders to make it economically viable to build. What a joke.
