I tend to agree with this viewpoint. Just cannot figure to why AA would "jump the gun" and list this plane as the one this early. Wouldn't it be reasonable to wait until the FAA has cleared it to fly before announcing that this is the type of plane change? Cannot think that too many people who know ahead of time would be willing to book with AA with them promoting using the Max 8. By the way, I would have used Delta as we had in March, had it not been that AA told us that we had to use our dividend miles or lose them. First time ever that we had "normal" flights. (i.e. not 3 connections and arriving a day later) offered to us.
