FF--that was the case when we booked also, although we intentionally booked the LATER flight, for several reasons, not the least of which was to NOT be on the Max 8. I also wanted the later flight time. Obviously, they have missed the boat on the date they said they would make the changes. We will see when they actually do make them. I am really hoping to ditch the Max 8, as well as going back to the later fight time. We will see..
