ATLANTA — Delta's CEO Ed Bastian hinted at the possibility of ordering Boeing’s 737 MAX, which was recently approved to fly again by U.S. regulators, in an interview with the Financial Times on Sunday. "We're talking to Boeing about lots of different things, the Max included," Delta's chief executive told the Financial Times.

I read in Airways yesterday how Alaska Airlines bought 30 737MAX "WHITE TAILS" from Boeing
Delta knows a bargain when they see one. Boeing will have lots of these aircraft to move off their books and there will be substantial discounts available. Delta will have to move at the right time before others pick up the surplus and the bargains end.
Yes, 110% correct. I will just add that Delta operates a 737NG fleet, so already has a pool of 737 type-rated pilots. They would need differences training and simulator sessions to fly the MAX, but Delta could have the training costs offset by Boeing if negotiating a bargain-basement MAX purchase.
I can add nothing more to your comment because it is so 110% correct.
Fire sell prices always draws buyers, Boeing will get rid of these planes sooner or later but their margin will be most likely zero or even a loss on each airframe, as the airline industry recovers, it will be in single aisle aircraft not two aisle Boring can forget the 777X, the demand will evaporate as will the market for the GE 9X engine
Flying on the 737 MAX should be easier for me in the near future.
