The 88s will be flying for the next how many years until we get all the 321s. I’d say for the next 5 years.

IMHO, the 88s/90s are the ‘accumulator’/shock absorber/plan b/whatever else you want to call it. They will remain as long as they are needed depending on how demand/deliveries go. 5 years is possible if there is no downturn, the MAX doesn’t get fixed and the Airbi are late. If demand tanks, the MAX sucks some of our passengers back to SW/AA etc, then all MD’s parked by the end of next year is really likely. Let’s hope for the first case.

He absolutely gushes about unmanned everything and how its the highest glory for humanity. He might make the right decision on the MAX criteria for recert, but once I saw how in the tank he is for labor busting unmanned tech (including future theoretical tech) I will never trust him again. He is not on our side.

Its funny how we're being simultaneously told that we desperately need unlimited millions of imported cheap labor (blue and white collar) forever with no limits whatsoever, and also any second now we'll have mass unemployment and need to depend on govt to give us UBI to exist as a species.
Not everything scales infinitely into infinity. Its bad enough when corporations are attempting human replacement at this level, but for our government officials to so loyaly carry their water on this while in many ways leading the charge is sickening.
But yeah, everything is exactly the same as cars replacing horses. Enjoy your YangGang welfare check.

Yeah and any concern about out of control AI including deadly force robocops and unlimited spying = that's the exact same thing as the Ludites!
