Or a even clean sheet since there are other options out there? I don’t see the 737 platform being efficient enough to sustain reorders for even ten more years. In other words, ten years from now we won’t be ordering more 737s. Not just engine efficiency, but avionics that force us to dive n drive at 284kts(not efficient), the necessity to run the apu on the ground to keep cool and other characteristics of the aircraft that aren’t overcome by a newer version. Technology is advancing exponentially and some of those 24 sim bays should’ve been reserved for something else.
