The Canadian airline WestJet has ordered the MAX 10 but TC is not going to rubber stamp the certification of this variant. It is going to get a very close look by the TC aircraft certification folks, and I don't think they are going like what they find when they start digging.
If I had to guess right now I'd give the MAX 10 even odds of never being sold.
Does Boeing still have an EICAS waiver for the max 7 and 10? One wonders if FAA will revisit this given that the certification schedules have probably incurred at least another 6-12 month delay. The last waiver was supposed to expire in September 2023 and idk what has happened since.
