Yep. A complete re-design of the 737 will take more than 10 years. About the best thing they can do is re-open the 757 line and hang GTF's on that airframe. Making the A320 15% more efficient makes it a viable transcon airframe and would allow us to have an all Airbus domestic fleet. That could save us alot of money vs. having a domestic fleet of 5 different types.
