I don’t expect Delta to pickup any Max aircraft right now given the focus on cash conservation. While Delta is running a high % of domestic flights vs. pre-COVID, they also have the ability to flip a switch in dramatically raising capacity and ASM when they see fit to stop seat blocking. I’m enjoying blocked seats in terms of comfort and hoping the branding strategy succeeds, as a stock holder.
I gave the source of my opinion as the CEO of Southwest. He doesn't share your optimism. Delta is not invincible.
