Other than schoolhouse rumors, it's all conjecture.
Even Southwest has completely taken the Max 7 out of its medium term planning. It isn't in any existing schedule and even long term plans don't have it delivered until 2027, which I am sure can easily get pushed right.
It's not even a joke anymore, it's just sad. When the nations only large aircraft manufacturer can't get a variant of an existing airliner certified by its own regulatory authority allegedly for an issue that exists in planes still being delivered, the entire system is beyond broken.

Yep, about as broken as the NOTAM system.

Exactly. A buddy who works at Boeing says their side has done everything they can and the ball has been in the FAA's court for well over a year. At least that's what they're being told in his group, which isn't related to the MAX.

This article came out yesterday, and BoJo and Co said they're now expecting mid 2026 on the earnings call yesterday.

Sure they are. Give me a break. We’ve been hearing that’s since what? 2021?

Oh I'm not saying it's coming then. Just saying that the company has now said mid 26 instead of late 25.

Max10 is keeping the program alive, with 1200+ orders for it. They're just both on the same certification hangups.
