Default What if the 320 was grounded?

I understand not all 737s are grounded but if we had a plane grounded that comprised a large portion of the operation we’d be finished. Hope this max issues gets figured out quick.

Our NEOs have almost certainly racked up more ramp time than those Max will.

True but they were such a small portion of the fleet and from what I’ve heard is Pratt and or Airbus was making spirit whole in some way on the lost block hours. I doubt Boeing is going to foot the bill for a world wide shutdown.

Perhaps they did make NK whole but the pilots lost the block time. I didn’t see any extra flying when those planes were parked.
It’d be a very bad day if, say, all 321’s were parked.

Hypothetical here, what if the company was liquidated? Would that hold up the PBS launch?

Yet another reason for dual fleets. Time to order 100+ CS300s to connect more secondary and tertiary markets.
