Makes sense, I know they have been keeping/storing a few MAX's by the maintenance hangars on the southwest side of the airport.

10 daily point-to-point sequences, initially.

"Normal operations" in mid-April.

More precisely, MAX flights are now on the schedule and shouldn't have to later be removed.

It would be shrewd to billboard the routes? I don't see a media fanfare upside.

the mdw to mco and raw routes are surprising but the time of year may have something to do with it.

I'm guessing it's going to be similar to before where it appeared on high density routes that can be swapped with a regular -800. Even well before the groundings I was due to fly a MAX on BDL-MCO and a couple of days before it got swapped to a regular -800.

Maximize the Max.

Clearly, there is a media fanfare upside.

Looks like all MAX routes are getting coded 6XXX.

Thanks for that map, very helpful. Delighted to see Zero from OAK, though I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Looks like PHX and DEN are the gateways for me to avoid.
