Cayman thinking of ditching the Max

Cayman Airways CEO and Board deliberating over their 737 MAX leases and their future.

They have just had 2 new -8 aircraft delivered in Nov and Mar, and 2 more on order for later this year/next.

They are now resorting to using a smaller 737-300 on their new longer routes which the Max was obtained for - now these 733 flights entail a tech stop.
They were also leasing an EAL 767 and the crippling $$$$ costs are the subject of CAY seeking compensation from the Lessor and/or Boeing plus looking into now cancelling all of the MAX leases outright and re-equipping.
They also think that damage limitation v/v pax with the MAX name is an issue.
