From NBCUniversal:

Southwest Airlines ranked second on Bounce’s 2023 Airline Index. The company has removed the Boeing 737 Max 7 from its fleet plans due to certification delays. Other airlines, such as United, have also rethought their fleet plans because of similar issues. FAA scrutiny of Boeing has increased after an incident with an Alaska Airlines flight. Southwest expects to receive 79 aircraft this year, down from a contracted 85. FAA has no timelines for certifying the Max 7 and Max 10 aircraft. The agency will prohibit Boeing from planned production increases of the 737 Max, potentially causing delivery delays.
