It's time to move forward and leave the dinosaurs for the museums.

By that standard the 737 line should all be parked, that design originated in the mid sixties ! It’s genetics are significantly older than the 757


While I think the 737 has been warmed over one time too many, the superbly engineered 747 and 767 are still going, certain types are so visionary they can be updated successfully for decades or even indefinitely like the C130
