I think maybe we are talking past each other? They haven't implemented the anti ice fix yet. The feds point blank told Boeing not to submit the application for final certification for the 7 and 10 until the nacelle anti ice fix is done.
The in house rumor is they are using the same engine nacelle but with different materials to satisfy the engineering requirement. It still has to be implemented and tested and then certified. I think a year is pushing it, especially with Boeing being put back into the crawl phase of crawl, walk, run after falling on their faces repeatedly.

Agree, this is the dumbest thing ever to get excited about, but here we are. I think it was just the Feds putting egg on Boeings face to convince the flying public that they are doing something despite working from home 80 percent of the time.

Reviving an old post, has ANYONE heard ANYTHING about the MAX 7?
I remember reading last year that Boeing said they "Found a fix" for the anti-ice issue, that they'd be flight testing it, and it should be a done deal in a year.... well a year has come and gone and there's still nothing. The MAX 7 test beds haven't flown in 2+ years for N7201S and 5+ for N7202U.

From: DOWNGRADE COMPLETE: Thanks Gary. Thanks SWAPA.
The whole thing has become absurd and an absolute joke. I mean, who would take anyone from Boeing or SWA seriously about it anymore?
How many more “another year” statements do you hear before you just write the whole thing off?
