Now that my 2-year sentence on the 717 is up, maybe there'll be some super-premium narrowbody A vacancies. One can only hope

Interesting. I just read on Wikipedia that 50-60 767 orders might be enough to reopen the line in order to bridge the gap until 2025 which would be the 797 entry in service year.

Boeing has been playing checkers for years with their lobbyists and lawyers... Airbus just invited them to play chess, then flipped the table over and punched them in the face, and stole their Rolex. I'm pro American all the way, but Boeing had it coming. They need to get back to their roots and hire some aeronautical engineers.

Have you read this recently? Boeing has made a soft launch of the 797 in June. Hybrid cross section with twin aisle 767 sized fuselage and narrowbody sized section for the cargo bay. 787 technology. 200-250 seats over 5000nm. It seems as if it would be a nice aircraft. On the other hand Airbus offers the 321lr neo. 200-220 seats over 4000nm. Which probably covers most of the existing 757 routes?
I wonder which one Delta would get.
A less capable 321lr neo offering Commonality with existing Airbus fleet.
Or a brand new more expensive boeing design offering a bigger route potential.

The better airplane in managements eye is the one that operates cheaper.

Technically i think it cud be said the 767 line is still open.
It kinda makes sense as a bridge airframe for the mom follow on .
And it fits with boeings making something old new again approach. Its a compliment to how good the 767 really was.

Now, what airplane will do the job of LGA to the west coast without having to choose only 2 of the following three? Passengers, Baggage, or fuel.
I have heard from Hauenstein's bunch over 15 years ago that if they could buy any airframe out there it would be the 757. I think that is still true

Has the CFR been rescinded that would permit LGA transcons? Thought the LGA rubber band ended at DEN.

Isnt lga restricted on destinations beyond mid continent?
If this 767NG idea has legs, im really curious what boeing bag-o-trick treats will be applied. And what net result will be.
Good enough is a powerful operational and economic incentive in this business. And double at delta.
Im seeing a 767 with 777 struts, wing sections, and 73ng scimitar winglets.
