So the Max has been cleared to return to service in the US by the FAA. The airlines are already prepping to bring it back with American likely being the first one, possibly in December. Southwest is looking to purchase 30 more of them from Boeing and Alaska just announced they are adding another 13 to replace the A320's they picked up in the Virgin merger. The airlines clearly feel the public will be okay flying again and I agree. Might be a good move by SW and Alaska long term if they can get them on the cheap. With airlines bleeding money right now the economics of the Max are pretty attractive to begin with. And with so many sitting around they can probably get them as soon as they want.
