That’s weird. I guess Boeing didn’t get the memo.

Just because the max program is still on their website doesn't mean any airlines will be taking delivery of any max-branded aircraft. Watch and see.

I guess...but if these were going to not be “MAX” branded, I would think Alaska would have gotten out in front with the rebranding effort with this announcement.

Maybe they decided it would be better to message that the problem is fixed and moving on, as opposed to trying to obscure the branding.

Only 39% Americans polled even remembered the MAX crashes. The recent media poll said people would hesitate about a MAX but only after they were reminded about the crashes. The MAX shouldn’t have any customer trust issues once it’s flying again. People have short memories, the crashes were old news, and more importantly their worry brain power is all focused on the Coronavirus.

I think the max is old news.. I think Alaska buys AMR out of 11 with government loans.
