Impact of MAX 10 on growth depends on whether they hold out for MAX 10, or just convert orders to 9's.
Because AS is an all 737 airline, until single certificate of course and our growth plans are entirely dependent on the MAX 10.
We have all seen hiring plans paused or just forgotten. December 2019 we had 237 mainline aircraft. With the last remaining 900 classics gone we have 246 or 248 present day. 6 more MAX 8s coming in 2026. Then we are waiting on the 10.
There will be a trickle of hiring and upgrades for attrition until the MAX 10 certification. Unless one is extremely well connected: McChord Mafia etc and well qualified I would not hold my breath for a call until Boeing announces the anti ice fix or the cancellation of the MAX 7&10.
