So, a few more points on the 738MAX:
"I was in a briefing by Boeing recently for a MAX customer. The overhead panel is unchanged, it will still remain a "stalactite cave". Field performance is still a worry, no real news on that in the near future.
The MAX is a lot heavier than the NG, to the point where payload is actually less. With sparse increase in thrust, this only means one thing, worse fields performance.
Insider info also whispered (not at this briefing) that the aircraft is overweight from what Boeing has been pitching at sales. That does not bode well."
