I find it hilarious that Southwest is seriously looking at diversifying their fleet makeup via merger after the 737 MAX debacle. Meanwhile, Alaska can't get back to their "All Boeing" comfort zone fast enough.
The day AS starts returning the Airbusses en masse, (who are we kidding they're going straight to Delta) is the day that you can start the countdown clock on Alaska Airlines.

WN is ensconced in their “All Boeing” comfort zone, and I don’t think that is going to change any time soon.

Anyone else get this vibe?

That’s what everyone here should be concerned about, because right now there’s nothing to stop it from happening.

If air group wanted out of the Airbus fleet they would have canceled the last 2 NEO deliveries. Also, if they’re going to pay 25m per year to have multiple types and the NEO is going to be here for at least the next 12 years, then it stands to reason that an order for more NEO’s is imminent. Plus 220’s to fill the gap, flown by mainline, but that’s just my guess.

They love the performance of the 321NEO, but once we get the MAX9 flying I think it’ll be further apparent there is no long-term need for the 321.
