You are kidding, right? The 737 should never have been stretched, updated etc. the way it has.
Getting rid of the 757 was one of the biggest mistakes Boeing ever made in favor of their own 737 program. Scrapping the 737 program should have come long ago, it was a great airplane in the past, time has moved on.
Boeing needs to move on from this Disaster and cut their losses, simple

No argument from me but I mean, the deal is done. There are billions of dollars worth of 737s parked at just Moses Lake. It would cost billions to just scrap those aircraft. It will never happen.

Its the same as the rudder reversal issue in the past, except for the arrogance of the Boeing managers who approved the whole MCAS debacle.

I have no clue what you think is good for your career. My guess: 500 321XLRs, 100 350’s. Delta pay plus 20 percent, guaranteed 20 days off a month, company pays to commute you in and out for each trip, 30 percent profit sharing, 200 hours a year in sick leave, 200 hours vacation. I bet if you got all that, you still would be miserable. Life is short, everyone is hiring.

6/3/3/3, decent upgrades to section 25, Industry scope, 25% total pilot seniority list growth over the next five years. That’s what I see, if you can’t live with that run. If a recession hits, all bets are off though.
and now all bets are off, all the sudden the max recertification isn’t Boeing’s biggest problem anymore.

Funny, now airlines are glad they don't have to take delivery of new airplanes for a while.

What might an announcement from BT say given the state of other airlines?
