yes, they need to add as much reliability as they possibly can. Right now it’s a crapshoot if the flight is operated by any variant of a 737-9; I don’t think the general public understands that a 737-900 can be swapped with a 737-9MAX at the last minute (which already happened a lot before this mess). More clarity and predictability is needed here to help ward off any additional customer relations impact from this mess. Currently AS is an unreliable operation; I’ve booked backup flights using miles on other airlines for the next month to protect myself.
