Being a DEN guy I’ve heard for awhile that the -7 had the range to do HNL (not sure that route would compete well against UAL’s 757/767/777 lineup) but it might work for EU or going further south/north.
Just hoping they don’t do more displacements…my schedule sucks about as bad as it can get without doing a forced commute. Hoping for good news…at some point soon.
I just rode in the back of a 777 and 787 to and from Europe, let me say, if I see a flight over 5-6 hours and it's on a 737 I WILL NOT BUY IT. A DEN-HNL flight in the MAX 7 would be borderline torture.
IMO.
