Every single one of those pictures was created by some fan-boy. Nothing has been released by Boeing.

Edit: well, except the Shorts

It seems UAL is the primary customer for the 737 MAX 9 and 10.

Meanwhile, the 321 NEO outsells the large MAXs 5-to-1. (Sales of the 320 NEO and the MAX 8 are far more similar.)

Since these sorts of decisions are made by CFOs I'm gonna assume that economics are indeed the primary driver. Which begs the question: was UAL given an insanely awesome sweetheart deal on these large MAXs or are we simply the outlier? Or both? Or something else?

Our CFO that went all in on the guppy got a D in economics.

It's not an announcement, but the writing is certainly now on the wall.

FWIW, here's a BOEING conceptual drawing that was leaked/released earlier this year and it's very generic to hide the details:

That’s why all the LCCs are buying Airbus?

What I’ve heard is the big swath of guppies we got in the 2012-16 timeframe were a consolation prize (at steep discount) for all the 787 delays (that at Znotins, who was let go, was a guppy fanboy). That pretty much set us on course to be a guppy narrow body fleet... that and the NEO is sold out through the end of forever.

So Boeing is late, over schedule, sells a POS at usedcar prices, and hooks us into being committed to said underperforming narrow body airplane until the end of time. Gotta give them credit... well played.
