WestJet is only saying they are looking at purchasing the MAX. Not sure if it's time to start celebrating.

Well as a employee of WJA, the whole company is in fact celebrating.  This will happen, and the only reason this is a letter of intent rather then a firm order right now is with that WestJet Encore is in its first quarter of operation its too early to commit to the 737MAX financially just yet. Boeing and WestJet both know if will be firmed up considering the long standing partnership between the two once Encore is stable a few quarters down the road.
