There are 24 737 MAX 8 in service (well, parked) with AA at this time, and 76 on order. AA ordered both the disagree lamp and the AOA sensors. Essentially, one task of the MCAS made “feel” adjustments so 737-800 Pilots would feel “at home” flying the w&b dissimilar MAX 8.
The other post-merger Boeing narrowbody aircraft are 737-823s, which don’t require the MCAS software to make it feel like you’re flying a 737-800.
