The Max7 is not much of an aircraft unless you need to operate out of a very small strip (<1700m), as Southwest and some Latin American customers must. All the costs of a 738 (or Max8) for fewer seats. It doesn't sell. With good reason. The A319neo and the current A319 is in a similar sales doldrum. If you want a 100 (or 120 seater) you need something designed as such. ie the CSeries or E2 range.
