Bahahaha. You’re dealing with SWA. A new type in less than a year?! That hilarious. Look at all the stuff that’s been in a quagmire because of “tech debt”.

Brazil doesn’t have a multi year order list.

[VIDEO] CNBC 737 Max-8 SWA analysis
I think it is a fair take on the current situation. SWA is viewing this as a short term problem and they have a lot of future plans hinging on the Max being back shortly.
Let’s face it, it probably won’t be much longer before it is flying again and this will be ancient history. The airplane is too big to fail. There are too many outstanding orders and too much money riding on its success. Boeing has their fingers deep in not only our government, but many other foreign governments as well.
If you read between the lines on the recent interview from the FAA administrator, he is all but saying that the thing will be approved to fly next quarter.
Will SWA pick a future type from a foreign competitor? Maybe...at least that is what they want Boeing to think.

If it gets grounded far out again, I bet some carrier is going to take the easy route and pick up an Airbus operator.
Place your bets.
Back in the day, USAir picked off Piedmont after Piedmont picked off Empire and moved into the Northeast. American got AirCal, Reno, TWA. USAir got PSA. Delta got NWA. Just like Delta picked off Northeast long ago. SWA got Morris and AirTran. But you guys are too young to remember that.....
The field is too big once more. The big three need to cull the herd through another round of buyouts.

Somebody is going to snag Spirit, Frontier or JetBlue. The Max Mess is the driver this time. Some carrier that is being hurt seriously by the Max.
