This is correct (I'm not aware of what AA has along these lines).

Practically speaking I don't think anyone other than QX could do it.

MEA seriously reminds me of this cartoon.

Several months after being freed from Alaska Airlines internment camp, I can confirm that the grass is greener at other airlines. Update those apps and escape the sinking ship- especially the bus guys and gals.

Forced relocation and incarceration haha, fairly accurate for nyc pilots as you know well!

No there isn’t. Just like there isn’t a 787-900 or a 747-800. There is a Max 7 though.

Semantics aside and to your point, nobody is really ordering it. It’s a tiny fraction of the total Max orders, and most have been deferred/delayed. The economics of it just aren’t that great. But I suppose if someone is proudly all Boeing and can’t fill a Max 8 on some routes and the incremental lower operating costs of a Max 7 make it work, maybe it would happen. Unless scope isn’t addressed and horizon flies some 190/195s instead.

The economics of it are far better than an RJ...and don’t forget Alaska opened their route map for years using the 700 NG.

I was former NYC. Still wouldn’t use the internment camp analogy. It’s a job. Move, commute, or quit. None of those options exist for those in history who were forced into internment camps.

Is it just me or is the 700’s performance important for the SE Alaska stuff?

Thanks... yes, I was trying dummy it down. I guess once again, I am the only dummy.
My point, we already have a 124pax airplane. Single fleet can be done very well with a Max 7,8,9,10... all of which AS is exploring. (120 pax to 190pax)
Obviously the bigger the jet the lower the CSM, the greater the available RASM... this is a RASM and CSM airline. We don’t need the Bus for the lower end.

This is second hand, but I believe the person that told me... BM and GB are pushing hard for 30 E2 at horizon. Remember to thank them this holiday season!
