I find it difficult to know if my flight will avoid 737 Max, so I've been avoiding airlines that have them in their fleet. Unfortunately, British Airways recently rebooked me onto an Alaska Airlines, and sure enough, it was a Max 8. Sometimes you just can't win.
Well, lucky for you, Alaska grounded their 737 MAX fleet a few days ago, so you won’t be flying on them if your trip is anytime soon.
Edit: I didn’t realize they were getting them back into service so quickly… oops 😬
Edit 2: bon chance mon ami
It was reported earlier today that 18 were already back in service after completing inspections, and the remaining inspections would be completed in the coming days.
They only grounded their max-9's. The others are still in operation.
Most of Canada's airlines' domestic commuter fleet use 737 Max 8s. The best option would be to pick Porter Airlines if you were deadset on not getting 737s.
