Having flown the 737 across the EastPac for several years now it has unfortunately done a great job and with APU on demand, we carry less unnecessary fuel for APU burn and rarely ever leave people either direction. I hope the new 321s have better performance than has been discussed as it might prove to be a lousy ride across the Atlantic that low.
A little birdie told me the MAX-10 (not all of them but many) will have single lie flats (1/1 seating in 1st class)for PS service. HUDS have also been ordered for the -10 and the -8(that will eventually replace all of our -800s).
Do we have the -8 on order?

yep, looks like the first one for us is still a couple hundred down the production line, so likely late spring/early summer delivery (if the planes are flying by then)

No.... 1st furlough 5 years 2 months. 2nd furlough 4 years 9 months. So just shy of 10 years total.
