the MAX 7 probably won’t get certified anytime soon. It needed an exemption for the cowl Anti-Ice and I highly doubt the FAA will grant one now

You may totally be right, however the two issues have zero to do with each other. Time will tell I guess. Q1 this year is happening pretty quick lol.

You would be surprised how much the public opinion can influence the FAA. Boeing asked for a exemption from the anti ice deal a day before this incident and it went full viral everywhere. Big doubt they are going to give it to them now.

AW has said you need 4 or 5 different aircraft to be diversified. A 50 50 split would accomplish nothing accept add cost. He said it isnt worth it. Dont shoot the messanger thats just what AW mentioned. UAL mentioned it should be able to handle the grounding with minimal impact with other fleets. Saying about 60 canceleations per day until rectified. A 50 50 here would still be over 2000 canceled.
