I worked for a parts supplier and most parts were aftermarket. The MAX is too new to have a lot of spares on hand. I haven't read the article yet but I bet this guy is going to make a killing in about two years once the MAX is in a stronger rotation with several airlines.

I read the article. But is the CEO's name Tom or Tim? Whoever edited the article was asleep that day.

If Spirt can't supply, maybe someone else can? I bet Boeing is looking.
