No maintenance CBA referencing ETOPS. The MAX didn’t come from the factory ETOPS qualified such as 777 or 787.
Cart before the horse as usual.

It can’t do it with favorable winds.

sooooo, Alaska flies back and forth to Hawaii each day using 73s, why is this a big deal that SW will do the same?

I am guessing different configuration. they have first class, less seats less people less weight

SWA could limit the number of pax. What’s the avg break-even pax load on the max?

I'm fairly certain that someone in Dallas has done the math on this.

No doubt. SWA has this figured out or they wouldn't be doing it.

The bigger problem is the issues they'll create for everyone else on the tracks out there.
