I do agree that Boeing has been in the habit of stretching their products rather than stretching their imaginations in aircraft design. I know, it's cheaper in the short term. The 737 cockpit for instance was originally designed in the 1950’s and is still just as crappy as they day the –80 was born.

I know that after the big turkey dinner is done, you can make turkey sandwiches the next day… turkey hash the next… turkey croquettes the next… turkey stew the next… turkey soup the next… and so on.

While very popular at the out set… people get board with leftovers.

On a side bar… and this is per Mr. Boeing’s rag.

The -900 can carry 220 bodies... range up to 3200nm with extra tanks... and weighs about 10,000 lbs. less than that A321.
