Yes, it's true that by the time the MMA comes into service, most of the current 767 pax fleet...

I don't think the middle-of-market space is big enough to hold two different-sized aircraft. It's not like the early '80s when the biggest 737 was the -200. If Boeing ever build a new narrow-body, it...

I'm not so sure - as you go down in size, the arithmetic gets less favourable. Eight to nine seats is roughly 11% less width per pax, nine to ten is -10%, but 7 to 8 would be 12.5 percent less, which...

You don't "scale" an aircraft by photocopying the drawings at +x%. :ugh:

You stretch, shrink, re-engine, design a new wing, etc, but you're still stuck with the same basic parameters, most...

Given that the 737 can't possibly be stretched any further, even if it had the legs, and shrinking the 787 makes no sense at all, a clean sheet is the only option they have left.

Or doing nothing,...

One source reckons that nine LD3-45s would be required for 206 (longhaul) pax worth of baggage and that the only alternative with 3 ACTs would be to dispense with AKHs entirely and bulk-load...

Almost certainly not.

Clearly, no matter how you crunch the numbers, the A321LR neo isn't a slot-in replacement for the B752.

The only mystery is why anyone might think that it would be.

That's my understanding, too (up to 244 pax, in fact, with the revised door configuration). According to Airbus, the ACTs are operator-removable, though I can't see many airlines rushing to convert...
