You guys do know that Gordon Gecko is not a real person right? There's no "legal obligation." If a public company is not maximizing shareholder value enough then the shareholders can take their money and go somewhere else.

Here's an article about shareholders getting all upset because they felt Costco should treat its employees more like Walmart. Guess what nobody got sued let alone hauled off to the Hoosegow: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB108025917854365904

The Max is purpose built for cheap, tourist class travel. It can never have a real first class or business class. It provides a cramped, noisy uncomfortable travel experience for 45 minutes longer than an NG.

The strange thing is, most ULCC "don't care about passenger loyalty/cost is king airlines" use the A320. Really, only one airline in that category uses the MAX.

Is this new or same as the previous MAX order?

I suspect it’s the same order, otherwise there’d be some sort of company fanfare about it.

Just the SEC filling formalizing the previous announcement.

You can't really expect a news organization to let facts get in the way of a sensationalized story.

So is this OTZ’s reported bronze plan, or perhaps the silver plan? Any updates to the outlook OTZ/MEA?

Good, that assures at least half will have a MGTOW of 86,000lbs.
