Very Interesting ...back in the early 1970s ..when we had a billboard here in Seattle that noted "The last one to leave Seattle Turn off the Lights" the 737 program was receiving serious thoughts about being cancelled!!! Fast forward these 40+ years & Boeing is producing 737s at the rate of 43 per month!!!!
The best bet is buying the 787-8, fr range, payload, and comfort.
Can someone explain to me why they don't just pickup the 757, MAX it, and rebuild the tooling? I'm sure there is a reason, for if there isn't, there are some very short-sided people at Boeing making the call.
The 737 & 757 body is pretty much the same,except material gauges. The 757, 767 & 777 upper Cab are close to the same. It really needs a new wing & engines.
An $11 billion order to Boeing and US being able to sell arms to Vietnam-all within the same week. Coincidence? I think not!
Capitalism!
