It would be a colossal failure to use a NEO or MAX to fully replace 717 flying, and you can’t keep the frequency required using the SWA model.

Go listen to your CEO’s one requirement for the 717 replacement aircraft at the JP Morgan event last week.

Yes, I agree it will VERY likely be a 737 variant that replaces the 717 but I will shocked if it’s a MAX anything. My money is also on low cycle Ng 700’s or 800’s.
Last week's management pep talk at recurrent said exactly that. Existing 800NG will replace the 717 and 700 flying as they are retired.
