What’s the theory - trading out the 717s for MAX? How many MAX do you think? 100? 200 copies? Hope they don’t install the ultra-small lavs like they did at AA:

my guess is we will eventually replace the lift flown by 738/320/MD90 with the 73M8. Probably 200-250 or so eventually. Coupled with 321/21N and 221/223 I think this will be what our NB fleet looks like going forward. Probably 200-300 or so of each of the 3 AC types

The A350 was (relatively) cheap too. The program was struggling to gain traction against the 777x series.
What do they say about luck? Preparation meets opportunity?

I never though we’d have the Max but I can see it being tempting now. Looks like a potential replacement for old 320/738 and to lesser degree 717. I read something the other day quoting Bastian about it. With how we’ve loaded up on da ‘bus in recent years I always thought I’d finish my career in one. Never got the chance as I took the VEOP but I was looking forward to it.
