737 Max grounding tests Southwest's relationship with Boeing - Southwest Airlines CEO Looking at Airbus A220
Southwest isn't just a customer to Boeing. It has closely guided the 737's incremental development (www.fliegerfaust.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Southwest would be foolish not to look at alternatives no matter the situation. Neither Southwest nor Boeing should be slaves to each other.
Should have updated the 757, by now everyone has a belt loader for baggage anyway!
I think Boeing should of stopped extending the 737 at the -700. The -800/900 have capacity similar to the 757, but cannot match the performance or range when loaded at max capacity.
That is where the 787-8 fits.
The B787-3 would have fit here, but was cancelled. The -8, -9, and by extension, the -10 were designed to allow Boeing to phase out the B767 line.
I don't understand how the B737-8/9/10 were designed to phase out the B767.
That seems impossible.
The 767 is massive compared to the humble but wildly successful 737 line.
Please, show us the documentation.

Brad was referring to the B787, not the B737...the B787-8/9/10 were designed to phase out the B767.
One of or the main benefits of a single airframe & accouterments for all missions is commonality, which, usually means huge cost savings and collateral benefits in most every category.
The superb B-737-8/9 MAX, especially without the alleged faulty programming, is touted by some as the most successful and safest commercial aircraft of all time.
When I heard and read about the two crashes, I suspected human shortcomings at Boeing and/or possibly stock manipulation via corporate sabotage, or, worse.
Nothing seems to really make sense about these incidents and the faulty programming; and, with the cyber attacks and gross stealing of some of our top secret military secrets, plans and documents by CHINA, who are building their own near copies of American and European aircraft, who the heck knows?
