It would be a colossal failure to use a NEO or MAX to fully replace 717 flying, and you can’t keep the frequency required using the SWA model.

Go listen to your CEO’s one requirement for the 717 replacement aircraft at the JP Morgan event last week.

Yes, I agree it will VERY likely be a 737 variant that replaces the 717 but I will be shocked if it’s a MAX anything. My money is also on low cycle Ng 700’s or 800’s.

So you think AS is just gonna upgage to an 800 and keep the frequency the same?

Last week's management pep talk at recurrent said exactly that. Existing 800NG will replace the 717 and 700 flying as they are retired.

There us bo way frequency stays the same on those routes with 737s but luckily they only need what, 20 airframes? Find the 20 lowest time/cycle 800s and put them on until they time out, then what?
