Boeing's 737 MAX 10 could be certified within days, opening the door for airlines like Alaska, American, Delta, and United to fly the most efficient 737 variant yet.
Westjet is the launch customer for the MAX10
The Max10 will be a great add for Alaska Airlines.
The Seattle airport is so dang packed and crowded they can swap in the Max10 to reduce some frequencies and free up some space.
Personally, I’m kind of hesitant about this Frankenstein airplane.
Yay, we can look forward to more airworthiness software beta testing on live/paying pax again.
There have been some green shoots from Boeing after the new CEO took over. Hopefully this is a flawless launch for this variant.
How does this compete against the 321CEO and NEO? Sounds like a plane for high capacity under 2K mile routes-major city pairs and trunk routes for hub carriers.
I think AA is also considering this plane.
My layman's understanding is that the 321neo can have slightly more capacity and higher range, but the Max10 has better economics on shorter—up to 3-4 hour-ish— flights.
I would assume that the fact that the 737-10 basically has the same wing and fuel tanks as the 737-8 has more to do with the limited range than having the same engines.....
I believe in boeing design philosophy. So i will manufacture a car that veers sharp left as speeds increase to 30mph. But do not worry. A computer knows what happens and will prevent the sharp left turn and prevent an accident. I will not tell customers or sales about that life saving feature.
The Max saga is coming to a close. There won’t be any issues with the -10, or any others. That said, I don’t fly on third world airlines.
Yowzers! For a pilot with allegedly 27,000 hours, you made several wild presumptions there…
LOL, who wants to inform this doof that the actual definition of "third world" would mean that he doesn't fly airlines like Swiss International.
How ancient are you? I’m not referring to unaligned nations, (the 60’s term) but the modern description of an underdeveloped or low income country, but you knew that. Your assertion that the “actual definition” is wrong. Scroll down when you google something.
Expect Max 20 in 100 years. Long live the 737.
Really such a short memory of those Boeing murdered in the Max 8, chasing profits above safety ? The entire series still has a lifetime ban for me.
One must congratulate American Airlines for improving their World Ranking by +17 places and only one place below the UK’s best low cost airline Ryanair, who were ranked number 64.
United and Alaska also achieved ranking improvement of +6 places on last year.
Sadly Southwest slipped a place while jetBlue dropped two places on last year’s ranking.
The largest drop was a disappointing minus three place drop for Delta, the Airline which believes itself to be an air line, better known as a tube or pipe for conveying compressed air.
