So I was reading about Alaska Airlines and their fleet plans, and it looks like they're really doubling down on the Boeing 737 MAX. They've got orders for a bunch of them, and it seems like they might be phasing out some of their older aircraft sooner rather than later. I think it makes sense given the MAX's fuel efficiency and range, but I'm curious about their long-term strategy here.
I mean, they're already flying a good number of these, but does anyone know if they're planning to replace their entire fleet with the MAX eventually? And what about the Embraer E175s they use for regional routes? Are those sticking around?
Also, how do you guys feel about the 737 MAX? I know it had a rocky start, but is it living up to the potential now? Would love to hear what you all think about Alaska going heavy on the MAX!
