Boeing NMA is DOA
https://www.flightglobal.com/air-tra...136296.article
'Boeing is taking a fresh look at the design of its so-called New Mid-market Airplane due to changes in the global aviation market and heightened focus on pilot-aircraft interactions.
“We are going to take, probably, a different approach,” Boeing chief executive David Calhoun says on 22 January in response to questions about the NMA. “We are going to start with a clean sheet of paper, again.”'

To be honest, the title is more about rhyming than accuracy.

Another Max casualty, although it was challenging to make the business case all along. NMA will probably involve into SOMETHING. Eventually.
The XLR is flying ff the shelves like hotcakes, exceeding even airbuses' expectations. The United order was probably the nail in the NMA coffin.

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.

Part of the problem is that the original NMA was intended to squarely fit the 757 niche, but it doesn't look like many folks will hang on to their 75's long enough now... by the time an NMA arrived, they'd already be replaced.
If they could offer an NMA right now, I'm sure it would sell just fine.
