Boeing should just launch the NSA (New Small Aeroplane). That's what they were about to do before the NEO/Max came along. Make it about the same size and range as the 757. This makes it slightly larger than the existing single isles, where the trend is going. It takes it away from the C Series, A320, 919 territory where the competition is building up. The operating economics will be a lot better than the 757 and perhaps better than the 737/A320 so its sales wont be eaten away by the 737 like what occurred with the 757. Yes, it will kill the 737, this was always going to happen with the NSA and sadly by the time the NSA is flying the 737s time will almost be up. It will put it closer into the NMA territory and maybe the NMA plane is not so attractive. If Boeing launch the NMA they still have the quandary of the A321 decimating the Max9. Of course Airbus agrees with Boeing's NMA idea. It keeps their A321 monopoly secure.
