That said, I am super curious how the 797 announcement goes at the Paris Air Show this month. Especially now that airbus will announce the A321XLR. 4500/5000 mile range on one of the most fuel efficient aircraft in the industry could very well be a massive game changer.

The general public will forget about the MAX as soon as the media stops reporting about it. People forget after 2 weeks of not hearing some bit of news.
With that said, Boeing should pull its head out of its rear end and build the 797 / NMA, or whatever they are going to call it.
They can't afford screwing the pooch one more time. The 787 development was a cluster and now they have a helmet fire with the MAX.
Yes, I fly the 737, but the ship sailed on that 1958 designed tube a long time ago.

The public might have short memory but I just think that there's been paradigm shift in the minds of the airlines that bought/ordered the MAX that it's just too scarred a variant to be enthusiastic about it any more.
The 737 will not be produced forever and if there's any moment that sounded the death nell of this aircraft, the MCAS fiasco has got to be it.

Just imagine they could order 50 or so max 9s park the 72 airbuses and try to call it growth.

Here’s a little fuel for the fire. I’ve been hearing the same rumor from different people that BM told the pilots of a flight he was on, an order for 101 Max’s is coming. I’d normally chalk it up to the usual “blah blah” but 101 seems rather specific. Where’s MEA to verify this
