Southwest is first to finalize 737 MAX order
With a firm order for 150 737 MAX airplanes, Southwest Airlines is in line to receive the first delivery in 2017 of the fuel-efficient 737 MAX, giving it the designation of “launch customer” and keeping its place as Boeing’s largest 737 customer.
The airline also ordered 58 additional next-generation 737s, bringing the total dollar value of the 208-plane order to nearly $19 billion – the largest order in Boeing’s history in both dollar value and number of airplanes. Southwest now has placed orders for 350 of the 737 family of planes, with outstanding options on 242 additional planes.
The order also puts to rest “rumors” attributed by The Seattle Times to Airbus sales chief John Leahy that Boeing was still considering an all-new single-aisle airplane to replace the 737. Jim Albaugh, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, claims the 737 MAX has 948 firm commitments and orders from 13 customers, and projects “1,400 or 1,500 firm commitments” by the end of 2012.

Radio broadcasting originally
Radio broadcasting originally began without paid commercials. As time went on, however, advertisements seemed less objectionable to both the public and government regulators and became more common. While commercial broadcasting was unexpected in radio, in television it was planned due to commercial radio's success. Thanks.
