Should AS Stay Committed to the MAX?
With many on order, and speculation mounting that AS may announce a big Max order as soon as the airplane is approved to fly again commercially, what are your thoughts on the wisdom of this move? While AS management has long-stated their preference for BA aircraft, my own view is that this trust must have presumed honesty and integrity in their business dealings. BA is running the typical big company playbook with their denial of responsibility— which has echoes of AS’ own tragic experience many years ago. Does AS management have the guts to play hardball on this, or will they just add to the order book and hope for the best?
