United Airlines is pulling the 737 Max from its schedule through June 4. So what does this mean for the busy summer travel season?
. If the current schedules hold, the total number of MAX cancellations since it was grounded last March will be just over 146,000 flights.
"There are about 10 or 11 milestones left to complete," Dickson told CNBC. "We're in the portion of the process right now where we're looking at the software – the validation of how the software was developed. That will take some time." Over the last eight months, even as Boeing trimmed its 737 Max production to 42 planes per month, Spirit continued building 52 fuselages each month. The company now has 100 finished fuselages sitting on a tarmac outside its plant in Wichita, Kansas, where about 13,500 people are employed.
