What I doubt is that it will be this year. And even if it is, those planes have been stored for over a year and since demand is basically non existent, it makes zero sense to reactivate them and put them through the checks they’ll need to get flying, especially when airlines are grounding planes. Plus the MAX is still an albatross to Joe Q.Public. Think of the headlines:

”United Airlines to fly 737-MAX, despite COVID-19 pandemic”
