Southwest Airlines places 100 firm orders for Boeing 737 MAX 7
DALLAS — Southwest Airlines announced today the completion of its previously disclosed discussions with The Boeing Company regarding the restructuring of its delivery schedule for MAX aircraft. The Company has completed the multi-year evaluation of the successor aircraft to its Boeing 737-700 model, with the selection of the Boeing 737 MAX 7 aircraft.

Hopefully this is the confidence booster Boeing needs to get more 737 MAX orders from other customers
I wonder if there is still a bunch of Max's stored in Renton.
Mostly stored at Moses Lake
I wonder why Boeing doesn't sell those planes to airlines like United, SW and American. I wonder if there's a lot of customization that those airlines do not want?
Some of those planes are sold, but airlines have deferred delivery due to the pandemic. Also between the grounding and the pandemic there have been a lot of cancellations. As part of this order SWA converted 70 Max8 firm orders into Max7 firm orders, so there might be a few extra 8s sitting around because of it. At least for a while Boeing kept making planes when they weren't selling any new ones because of supply chain logistics and other economic factors.
Wow! Thats a hughhhhhh shot in the arm for Boeing, congrats!
