Empty weight of a reengined would be 30t lower than the 787 and A330s, and its fuel consumption 15-20% lower then RR, PW , GE powered 767-300ER.

Still way more capable than a A321 XLR. GE, US DoD, United, FEDEX, UPS would certainly support the business case.

I suspect that if they build it, one thing it won't be called is "<anything> MAX"
