I'm just quoting what AA said themselves, that they were going to remove the Max 8 through June 4, on January 19, and it still hasn't happened. My guess at this point is that they maybe are going to remove it for a longer period of time, based on the announcement of today and they were somehow waiting for that announcement before doing any more changes at all? Probably has something to do with money... Some payment due to Boeing or something. ……... Just spitballing. Probably just their typical lack of organization..
