Southwest just placed a large order for 737MAX-7 two days ago - [0]. 100 firm orders plus 155 options. They may get a great deal from Boeing for all we know, but placing a large order during this terrible time for the airlines is a bet on the future of MAX as well as the industry recovery. [0] - https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/29/southwest-airlines-adds-100-... Meta note, this relatively frequent aircraft incident gets a lot of votes here on HN, yet the Southwest's order falls off the crack. Objectivity is as scarce on HN as on any other media frequently criticized here. |

Is this supposed to mean anything? To me it reads like an airline managed to get a massive discount on inventory that a struggling aircraft manufacturer hasn't been able to move for about a year due to their repeated problems with safety and accountability, which led the whole world to drop their orders.
