This isn't good encouragement. Try to push 737MAX back to the sky in short time frame just because he wants that $7 million dollars regardless the safety of passengers. Just in my opinion.
What about FWD entry door or FWD fuselage? I believe it has small damage too. In the security footage, you can see the second CRJ900 plunged onto the jetbridge as fuel truck hit the wing.
I found the security footage! Look at the second video in this link.

That's nice of them offer that. Beside the priority check-in and boarding, Southwest has nothing offer for Elite status compare to other airlines. No airport lounge, no flat bed in business class, and even no hot meal for their business-select passengers. Since they're LCC so I don't blame and I don't think this is worth the hassle of sign up for Elite status. Just IMO.
The companies discontinued produce the parts for all MD80 series. This means more expensive for repair/maintenance. This is main reason why they retire MD80s much sooner than expected.
