FAA standards have changed. That's why the MAX 7 and 10 remain uncertified. The chance you Woukd get a design that's been out of production for 20 years "grandfathered" under its original standards strike me as low - particularly for Boeing who isn't in anyone's good graces right now.Originally Posted by TransWorld
That is why I said pull out the drawings. The industry made the tools, fixtures, and jigs. Back then, no one had ever worked on them.Design drawings gets you half there.
If you actually name it the 797, "low" becomes "no way in hell".

We all love the 757 but this is dumb. Let's bring back the 1970 Caddy Coupe DeVille. By many measures it was one of the coolest land yachts to ever grace American roads and it's the size we need to get the job done. We'll just toss in a new engine and it's gonna be a moneymaker.

Yep. Loss of credibility with FAA leads to loss of ability to self certify work leads to inefficiencies that drive up unit costs AND decrease production rate. None of those are really conducive to any sort of fast rebound from their problems.Originally Posted by VacancyBid
Boeing has boxed itself out of the smart choices.

You know what’s funny?….. you know who else lost their credibility? (Hint hint) Yet they somehow keep on chugging.
So I think there’s still a chance for Boeing. I’m sure they’ll figure out how to staple together a 7?7 together and get it certified.

Here's why Boeing airplanes now suck and will continue to suck: .Gov pays more for bombs and missiles and satellites than the airlines pay for jets. All that matters to corporate America is the stock price, and they know where their bread is buttered.Originally Posted by TransWorld
The 757 design will have to be updated. But it is not "throw everything away."
Boeing needs to exit the commercial aircraft business. Let the 787, 777X, and 737-MAX be the last.

Boeing is actually underwater on quite a few of its .gov contracts. They are losing money in that sector due to fixed-firm contracts and cost overruns. Boeing struggles to steer defense unit in another year of losses Reuters
Don't let the facts get in the way of your theories, though.
