It’s been reported like 20 times, it’s just a media ploy to pressure Boeing. The cost incurred by the grounding is minor compared to the cost to - update airport support equipment, pilot training, sims, mechanic certs, parts, etc... doubtful it will happen.
Many companies do multi manufacturers aircraft. What’s the problem.
What a disaster if it was only Boeing and Mostly A Max..A/C fitted airline.

Kelly and the Southwest Board sending Boeing a strong message that they expect to be compensated for the loss of revenue while the MAX has been grounded.
Yes but they’ve done it monthly for the last 6 months.. showing their hand as all talk
That’s ironic. As much as I love SWA, it’s been a player in the 737 development problems. By holding it back for a good 20 years!! It was only in the last decade that SWA allowed the incorporation and use of many of the advanced features as the flight deck developed. Under the heading is “same fleet” “less training” less cost.
How would any of the SWA pilots ever adapt to Airbus technology. Only Delta has ever been successful in embracing varietal products.

As in the words of our great Commander-in-Chief .... "FAKE NEWS!"
