We don't have the MAX 9 though. We already set the bar with the 321N being the 7ER rate. This shouldn't be hard.

UAs max 9 and 10 rate is identical to their and our -900 rate, they fly the NEO at a rate higher than the max 10.

while UA may have dropped the ball, AA negotiated the max-10 rate to be identical to the 321NEO. They might have saved us on that one.

Not yet; give it time. We will see Max 8/9s as well.

There will be another fleet change announcement in the near future. I would expect the 220-5 and potentially some other iterations of the Max and or 787s.

Can the 220-3 or -5 do MEX?

good question! If I had to bet, yes. Because I think B6 takes the 220-100 to EYW, and that’s about as high performance as it gets. We take the 220-300 to SNA I think. And that’s a long flight to/from ATL
