Well it is viable, it has a range of 4100 miles - flights that diverted last year had over 80% of range. Belfast is 75% of 737 max range
They have ordered the 737 max 9 so obviously the same capacity as the 757. Range will not be an issue as much with them as they won't fill the plane with the max capacity.
I don't think they will introduce the max for a while though. I can't see them retiring the 757's for a while.
