Kudos to Alaska Airlines for returning to an all Made-in-the-US fleet. No offense to Airbus, but American-owned and operated airlines should fly AMERICAN PLANES on domestic routes. Our economy wouldn't be so bad if our businesses would stop subsidizing foreign industry.

30% of Boeing parts come from overseas, perhaps you should do some research before posting: https://money.cnn.com/2013/01/18/news/companies/boeing-dreamliner-parts/index.html

They're retiring the Airbus so they gotta replace it with something.

Yes, and Alaska might also be planning to replace some of their older 737 NGs with MAXs.
