Gate space is a factor in this as well...
A321XLR has a wingspan of 118' 737 MAX 10 has a wingspan of 118' 757-200/300 has a wingspan of 135' (winglets) 767-300 has a wingspan of 167' (winglets) 767-400/X has a wingspan of 170' 787-8/9 has a wingspan of 197'. A330CEO has a wingspan of 198. A330NEO has a wingspan of 210'. |

I've long thought that Boeing has too thin of a market for the NMA.
They have made the 737 so big (Max9 and Max10) that the gap between it and the 787 is just too small to really have a huge number of sales for a new plane. I like the idea of a spruced up 767, but that would just be a less efficient 787. I don't know |
Whatever happened to the 787-3?

The 321XLR is the same tech as the neo but with added tanks, deceased payload iirc. It's obvious that airlines want an airframe they can deploy on a wide vsriety (up to 4700NM) of routes with reasonable load factors and to be able to redeploy if a particular route isn't profitable. Long and thin. I think there is definitely a case for a 5000NM plane with 210-240 pax and 25 percent lower burn but who knows.
757MAX |
They’ll probably make a single pilot jet to reduce pilot retirement “shortage” and effectively double the amount of pilots they have.
maybe they’ll even start and 8 series. 838 848 858 and so on.... |
They need to design a new modern airplane, with it's own type rating. If their new revolutionary and innovative design still requires a rubber band to talk to the guy next to me it's going to fail.

(and by what Airbus has been saying just hope there is even a pilot up front to begin with) |

(and by what Airbus has been saying just hope there is even a pilot up front to begin with) We obviously have no idea what happened with Kobe but I’d bet that having a second pilot (if there wasn’t one) probably would have done wonders for CRM in the challenging conditions if it wasn’t a mechanical issue. One pilot aircraft operating as an airliner would throw out all we know about CRM. And quite frankly many of us and many more passengers would probably be dead today if it weren’t for operating in a crew environment and treating it as a crew mission. |
