Jump to postTotally typical. Most of the certification consists of manuals, documentation, and validation and there's no need to fly it around for familiarity since it's a common type. At some point they'll operate the proving runs and the FAA will sign off on it. Delta, which already operated the 319,320, and...
Jump to postWhen the A319 and 737-700s get old enough the MAX 7 will be the logical choice for fleet commonality, hot/high/short field performance, and are still a slight upgauge over the 737-700. The 319neo is just not competitive in light of the massive MAX order. Same with a new fleet type.

I think that ever since UA merged with Continental, UA is basically done with PW. Now, they prefer GE/CFMI planes.
