Surely better to be operating something that's a bit less capable than having to not operate or not expand at all?
Just what Jet2 did (ordered a large NG fleet well after the Max launch). Have to say they seem perfectly satisfactory to me.
I, too, think it will be S21 before the Max is meaningfully back. There are going to be mods to install as well as software, and a lot of training which, as almost no simulators exist for it, will need to be on modified aircraft.
