Why Do So Many 737 MAXs Fly in Canada?

  • As of early March 2022, there are 5 - soon to be 6 - airlines that fly the Boeing 737 MAX in Canada.
    In a world where the market for commercial airliners is increasingly leaning towards Airbus, why does Boeing seem to have such a foothold here in Canada, at least in the single aisle segment?

    With regards to AC, there's also the time when they inherited a small fleet of 737s after their takeover of Canadian Airlines. They only flew them for a few years before retiring the mainly older 737 frames from the overall fleet.

    It’s hilarious how many people I’ve heard passionately say they’ll never fly on a Max. When I reply good luck flying in Canada without going on a 737, they are shocked to learn that the infamous Max is a 737. A lot of the time they’ve recently flown on one and didn’t even realize it. 🙄

      Flew on the max before the cashes and wasn't that impressed buy it. It was quiter but thats about it. I hate the new seats that they have and are being put in the NGs.
      On the other hand the C series or A220 is in a class by itself. It's my new favorite narrow bodied aircraft.
      Question is what are these airlines going t9 do when the B737 is discontinued and Boeing finally make a new aircraft. Boeing cannot use the same cockpit as so much if it is from the 1960s.
      They will have to retrain every pilot they have at the Boeing only airlines. Where as the Airbus cockpit is much more upgrade friendly. The only cockpit they have that is not compatible is the A220 which was designed by Bombardier.
      At some point these Boeing only companies are going to gave to bite the bullet.
      As far as not finding it eay to avoid the Max I've had no problems. 14 round trips between Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal and not a Max amoung them. If I had to fly a Boeing I would just pick an NG flight. All my 14 round trips have been on A220s, A32Xs and 2 Q400s

    Personally I think I'd want to have a somewhat diverse fleet, especially lately with it being so easy to have a huge number of planes grounded for some reason. Obviously the cost savings of having all the same thing are nice but it's sort of the 'all your eggs in one basket' sort of thing

    • @christodang
      @christodang 2 года назад +2

      It's a mixed tradeoff. A diverse fleet also means a diverse crew is needed as pilots and flight crew are trained on specific aircraft. Having too diverse a fleet can have the opposite effect in that case (ex: a bunch of your employees call in sick with omicron, you don't have enough employees trained in that aircraft to pickup service). So it's a delicate balance of having enough aircraft to service different needs/routes while also not having too many that maintenance and staffing becomes an issue.

Not only can they access these gets sooner than any Airbus model but some deliveries in 2023 will help bridge the gap in between the A220 orders which are set to pause in that year.

      personally I loathe flying on AC's A320s, always have, including their A321s. Sure they have the older engines, but those things are always packed up the ass. There's always a delay because of the lack of overhead bin space, something the 737 MAX and all the wide body aircraft don't really suffer from. I'll take a 330 or any of the AC Boeing aircraft any day over the 320s, especially since the 320s are thrown on some really long flights (YYZ-YVR, just give me a 787 or 777 and I'll be happy)

    Between flying on the 320 and the max, I'll always take the max these days. The sky interior is just so much more pleasant, and there's more overhead bin space, which significantly reduces the delays at airports in my experience. I hate the risk of gate checking my backpack or suitcase these days because all my camera gear is in there. I've never noticed any differences in seat size between the two either. If there is a difference it's negligible.

Remember that 707s and DC-8s did trans-atlantic flights whilst they were "mere" narrowbodies. The comfort of a plane has nothing to do with the number of aisles on board; it's all about how the airline arranges the cabin. My flights on a 757 and A320 were much more comfy than on a 767, and I wouldn't be too keen to fly on a 9-abreast 787 or 10-abreast 777.

    As a frequent flyer I'm not particularly interested in the make of the aircraft so long as it's safe. My concern is in the quality of customer service for the atrocious cost of flying these days. Air Canada's customer service level is terrible and their loss of baggage legendary. AC is also notorious for bumping people off of their planes with nary a concern for the stranded passenger. While WestJet is certainly no cheaper than AC its customer service is exemplary in comparison. I prefer to pay more knowing I won't get bumped and won't have to deal with a government employee mentality.

    Actually as you said currently it is Boeing's advantage because it can deliver aircraft quickly in a short period of time. There is another very important point you did not mention: because Boeing has a lot of whitetail aircraft, Boeing will be sold at a low price. And as you can see by allegiant airline purchase, Boeing 737Max discounted prices are to some extent almost the same as 320ceo prices. But it is undeniable that the 321neo its capacity and range is indeed Boeing does not have a product can compete.

      ​@@athleticguy15The fact is A321NEO has just overtaken A320NEO as the best selling variants, while majority of MAXes are MAX8. I just can't imagine MAX8 can be in average more expensive than A321NEO, let alone LR and XLRs.
      Also A321NEO outsold MAX9/10 by a few times. It reflects the fact that A321NEO is more attractive in the eyes of airline executives, despite its ridiculously long queue. Boeing simply can't charge as much without further hurting their backlog.

      Airlines and manufacturers absolutely have no obligation to disclose to fanboys. But many airlines as public listed companies, have to disclose any capital spending as part of investor relations. By aggregation it's not impossible to get a brief idea. In Allegiant's case, they have to justify why they moved away from a single fleet to shareholders, though the market seemed unconvinced.
      Both Boeing and Airbus are also public companies, and have to disclose their financial statements. And it's not hard to see Airbus overall in a stronger position. If deliveries of Boeing recovered but not their revenue, you really have to wonder what's gone wrong there, or Airbus would definitely be questioned by their stakeholders if investments on A321XLR or A350ULR don't earn them extra bucks.
      And I carefully say "average". It's simply impossible to know every deal even for insiders in Airbus or Boeing. But the pattern can be seen, at least for some people that are working in the aviation industry.

    It's very simple. The MAXes are cheaper to buy, lower fuel burn per seat mile and cheaper to maintain than the NEOs. If you don't need range beyond 3300~3500 nm, the MAX is the better aircraft. Obviously, if you are looking for transatlantic range to replace the 757 or you are routinely flying out to about 4000nm (eg. London -- Mumbai) the NEO will be your choice.
