Default Some potential good news....

Saw this tidbit the other day, maybe Boeing is finally seeing the light on the MAX POS?
I see they are not using the max name this time.....

As long as they don’t call it the 757 MAX.

Pretty sure NMA is getting morphed into NSA, ie max replacement. Maybe stretchable into the 75 range.

FWIW, another article from a more reputable source said that while Boeing had been considering this prior to Covid-19, Boeing has suspended ALL development programs expect for the 777-X and disbanded the teams.

True, but at least it’s something positive amongst the current gloom and doom.
the 757 plus has a nice ring to it as well as the 767X.
i guess Boeing isn’t considering calling it a max. Wonder why

Amongst the good news, more interesting, because no one knows what the implications are just yet, Boeing just broke up with Embraer. No new small narrow body for Boeing.

I imagine Airbus is gloating, and whooping it up.
