What if Boeing agrees to buy Alaska out of Airbus leases to sell more MAXs? Just because AAG says “we never break leases” doesn’t mean they wouldn’t let someone else pay for it.
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.

Leases are cancelled, traded and sold all the time. All AS has to do is get a better offer or price for the MAX from Boeing and it will be a done deal. As someone earlier said, Delta will take ALL of AS's Busses in a heartbeat.
You don't think Brad knows that? As I recall he was the CFO when the MD-90 cancellation went down. Why did that happen? McDonnell-Douglas offered them a sweet deal on late model MD-80s coming down the line.

Are we still pretending that AS doesn't have a major order for MAXs already, and we just don't know about it? The lack of vision in almost every facet of this company would almost guarantee that the Bus is going away. Taking the inferior choice because it is cheaper seems to be the battle plan here. It only makes sense that everyone else is buying NEOs and we would rather have an iPhone 5 with a new battery as our flagship aircraft.

Well, we have the pilot group to blame for that. It is what it is, but Alaska pilots have had 87 years to fight for industry standard work rules. Every other major airline has them, yet here we are in 2019 having to fight for things that should have been done a decade ago. THAT is what is embarrassing here.
