What Boeing did to the 737 reminds me of what Beech did to the Beech 1900(D). Where a clean sheet should have been, there's strakes, vortex generators, pods, etc.
This thing Boeing intends to do with the MAX, increasing nose gear length and bastardize an overworn airframe and cockpit....it has become the laughingstock of the industry.
