RAT 5,
basically that is saying to each other: all will be fine, no need to panic. Investment risk is high and 3000 737s in the backlog, what can happen? Boeing outproduced Airbus last year!

Lesshair,
old airframes with new wings worked for the 727, 737, 757, A310, A330, E2, CRJ, 777X hopefully.

It seems to me Boeing only should make the investment in a 737-10 when they best the A321LR on capacity & range.
Just matching isn't good enough, they're fighting an uphill battle.

A great new MoM would take at least 8 years, during which Airbus would have a sales / margin feast.
