757. Maybe. But from what I’ve seen it also comes in short on MGTOW on that comparison as well.
I read an article last year about Airbus developing an A322. New wing. Bigger. To be a 757 replacement. 321 like it’s Boeing counterpart 737 can only be stretched so far... before...

As of now the only reason I can see the 321XLR is in the mix is to let Boeing know they don’t have a monopoly on the ER replacement order.

One of the saddest day of my life. (Damn kids better appreciate me.)

The article reconfirms my belief, but also includes a reference to Boeing having put the 7-7 Mom project on the ‘back burner’.

They may still soft launch the 797 next year to see what the market will accept, then probably offer a 767 with Ultrafan, or Goliath GTF in place of the 797.
