Only 8s and 9s have been produced so far. I'm not even sure that anyone other than Southwest has ordered the MAX 7 (it's less of an improvement over the -700 than the 8 and 9 are over the -800 and -900/-900ER). There are no big conspiracies here just no sense in grounding planes that don't exist (or haven't been delivered).

- Insanity 8y agoIndeed, only max 8 and 9 are grounded afaik
- inferiorhuman 8y agoBecause no customers have MAX 7s and thus no MAX 7s could possibly be in revenue service with passengers. If Southwest tried to take delivery of and operate one of their MAX 7s in revenue service you can bet the FAA would have a conniption fit.
