I am writing using the brain and the memory that, with the age and the chemoterapy are no more so good () so maybe i am wrong.

Hehe you're right - it's only a few actually that have ordered the MAX - so yes my statement is overblown lol. The A220 looks great in the TAAG scheme - but that aircraft is really suffering with its engine issues so hopefully they aren't withdrawn prematurely like those of Egyptair.
And all the best wishes and may the force be with you on your treatment!

I must add Arik Air from Nigeria, ordered 8 MAX8. While Air Peace, ACMI/charter from Nigeria too uses the B737-700/800 and A320ceo.
So, with Air Senegal, the MAX operators should be four.

Thanks so much for your nice words, even by my two Masters...
