797. The Plane That Never Was.

I like the idea of the 2-3-2 seating plan! No need to share the same row when the two of us are flying!
Flew an America 767-300 a month ago with a 2-3-2 config. Unfortunately, those are in the desert now..
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd have thought Boeing predicted just how many models they'd produce in their existence a long time ago.
Haha!
Nice article, I too lament the demise of a potential new mid-size design. My main complaint is that, regardless of whether they build a new design or shrink the 787, Boeing is somehow unable to have a replacement for the 757. It's not like the 757 end-of-life caught them by surprise. I suppose they just thought a very efficient stretched 737 (i.e. the MAX) would take it's place.
Shame.. with gas prices so low.. the current desert stockpile like the 757s look alot more appealing..
