If it were up to me I’d order a couple dozen 7MAX’s. I just don’t think it’ll happen. On paper CASM is greater than the “mission” of a few boutique markets that can be done, worst case, by outsourcing to RJ’s. And that’s assuming the 221/223 can’t do it.
if the 223 can do any airport the max 7 can, ordering max 7s makes no sense. The -8s are obviously considerably bigger and might give us the ability to not down gauge certain 757 flights all the way to an a220. I’m not saying we will see 100 max 8s, but 20-30 really wouldn’t surprise me. Very little downside when we already have numerous 73N pilot bases and the planes themselves will be extremely similar parts wise to the hundreds of other 737s we will be flying.
