When a FT update mentioned delivery of the first Max 10 in January I thought that was pretty optimistic. Sounds likely that Boeing will be needing a government extension to avoid significant delays if they miss the deadline.

Boeing can't even finish getting the 7 certified, never mind the 10.

Look at it as giving TK a chance to clear the training backlog. We only have 255 of them on order. 🙄

UAL could possibly increase the 321XLR orders rather than wait for this latest MAX debacle to play out. 🤷‍♂️

Is the pay rate going to be the same as the 9 or a few dollars more?

The deadline and/or a waiver for no EICAS will be granted. Absolutely no question about that.

God forbid you update that 1960’s engineer panel and make it A. Safer and B. Something resembling a modern aircraft.

A pay rate for the 737-10 has not been established.

UPA 3-J covers the establishment of pay rates for new aircraft types.

Have there been any accidents specifically attributed to the panel? I flew C130s in the USAF, and yes we had an engineer but the 737 panel really isn’t a big deal. Once you learn it that’s it, I don’t get the issue. The Max 10 not having EICAS should have no bearing on its cert, and the requirement was a classic knee jerk regulation free-for-all in response to untrained pilots not following procedure and crashing the other Max airplanes. In other words, “WE MUST DO SOMETHING!!”

if I recall correctly the panel was specifically not updated because the primary customer (SW) requested it be as close to the NG panel as possible, thus making an easier transition and less training required. Either way, the panel not having EICAS is simply not a safety issue, and makes almost no impact once a pilot learns the 737 panel of any type. My opinion obviously.

And get rid of all those cool buttons , lights and switches ? 😂
