Ethiopian 737 MAX 8 crash

At one time Boeing was looking at developing a lighter weight 757. Think the number of passengers was to be about the same as the MAX is now. Not sure the MAX is really fixable without major airframe design changes. By the time you made those changes you would have.......a lighter weight 757.

That market niche is squeezed between stretch 737/A321 on the low end, and 787/A350 on the high end. There might be a case for longer range and a few more seats than stretch NBs. Maybe. The 75 didn't have to compete with stretch guppy...

Yes, if you're lucky. They delayed the decision on whether to even proceed with NMA until next year. Not even clear whether they think they have a business case.

Correct, with likely a hybrid double bubble fuselage... they want twin aisles for quicker gate ops, but don't want all the drag and fuel burn of a large diameter WB hull.

Another case of industry capturing the regulatory process. See:

Why not a memory item
Just read that according to the cockpit recorder that one pilot was going through the QRH and the other was praying, why in the world was runaway trim not a memory item. Just asking, I'm only a private pilot so put away the knives.

This is wasn’t exhibited as a runaway due to the intermittent nature of the automatic trimming.

A 200hr pilot in a 737? Unbelievable
