This comes as Alaska and United are making accommodations for passengers who don't feel comfortable riding on the newly inspected Max 9 jets.
The travel booking website Kayak has a filter option to exclude any planes that you don't want to fly on. They say ever since Jan. 6, the day after the door plug flew off an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9, they have seen an increase of 15 times the amount of folks searching to exclude a Max 9 in their travel plans.
Both Alaska and United say if you do book a flight on a Max 9, they will directly work with customers who just aren't comfortable riding on one.
Meanwhile, Southwest has announced that they are taking the 737 Max 7 out of fleet plans for this year. That takes the number of overall expected Max deliveries for Southwest this year from 85 to 79. This all comes just a few days after United says it's taking the Max 10 out of its fleet plan.
