Like I said it’s time to move on as a unified single pilot group. Enough said.
Ok back on target, when are we getting the 797?

Thinking the 737 is a POS isn’t CAL bashing and reporting of having lived through 23 years terrible CAL management, especially Flight Ops, with terrible working conditions compared to today, is just telling the truth. Everybody raves about Gordo yet he allowed Debby McCoy and Fred Abbott to flourish during his regime.

Again...why are Gordo and Debby even being mentioned in this thread?? Completely irrelevant....take your own advice and move forward...

Seems no t many have been paying attention to the structural studies Boeing has been doing.
Based on a carbon structure, you don't need a circular fuselage crossection any more. There are huge structural benefits to vary the crossection. The studies have focused on a dual aisle, double bubble. But Boeing has been concerned with customer acceptance because not many will have a window.
Structure, weight, volumetric efficiency, all argue a non-traditional fuselage. I'm betting the double bubble makes the grade. Last year, Aviation Week had some pretty good articles. That kind of fuselage also allows the use of existing gate space. Lots of reasons to do it. Not many to stick with the traditional dual aisle.

People will accept it.
Isn’t there digital windows on the 777X first class middle seats at Emirates? Who needs windows when video screens technology are now imitating it.
