Should come with NEXT interiors.

Actual revenue service after crew / ground staff training - at least a couple of months. Early 2024?
My thinking as well. This is not a 737-8/9 MAX. This is going to be a whole new type getting used to. I'd guess after the holidays, with flying certain scheduled routes. So far, no indication as to where these planes will initially be based. I would think DEN or SFO would be best fits, and that is just a hunch, given why they ordered the aircraft in addition to the 737-10 MAX.
