Or we are using it this as leverage with Airbus. If Airbus assumes all future aircraft orders will go to them as opposed to Boeing in the future, we aren’t going to get the best deal possible. We’ve only been buying Airbus in the recent past, so at some point they (Airbus) will realize this.

There already exists a middle of the market aircraft, it’s called the A321neo LR.

Boeing is just going to further bastardize the 737. There would already be a middle of market aircraft if they were interested or capable.

The MOM sweet spot is a moving target. so the 321 may not satisfy as time goes forward.

If the 797 is a 777 common type...which seems inevitible...we could end up wth a 77/9 mix category.

If that's true, than Boeing's next big thing will still have a yoke. so much for innovation.

I hear Boeing has agreed to use the 737 overhead panel to keep Southwest interested...

Hey Airbus doesn't use it, or bombardier, or Embraer now, or dassault or gulfstream... so Boeing will use it.
