Default Additional Max Order Rumored

Reuters generally reports facts, vice fabricating them, so a reliable rumor.

Predicable. However, I learned something a long time ago: “I’ll believe it when I’m sitting in it and collecting a paycheck.”

737 800 and MAX 8 can takeoff full out of DCA, SNA, OGG, LIH. MAX 9 would most likely have to restrict some seats.

MAX9 and MAX10 would be ~170+ seats. With 319s gone and -700s totaling less than 20, what’s going to fill the 90-150 seat market?


I don’t think I want to know. But it probably begins with a H and ends with n, or begins with S and ends with t.

Its probably easier with Horizon to avoid scope entanglements at Skywest with their other partners, but your right, most likely e-190/195 or A220 at horizon.

Better QX than OO... easier to pry them out of QX's cold, dead hands cuz they're still air group property.

If OO buys 190's to operate for AS, you can kiss those planes goodbye.
