There is no replacement for the 75- but the 75 line died thanks to the 738 for capacity and 737-7 for performance. Was that smart on Boeings part? I don't know, doesn't seem like Boeing has been hitting home runs after the 777 rolled out.

No flamebait here. Did you honestly think there wouldn't be some shrinking as a result of the merger? I know I expected it. UAL is going the though the exact same thing right now.
I don't know about the active just, but since the ISL was released we have lost around 1000 pilots. But due to hiring in 2010, the net loss is less then 1000 pilots.

While I personally think it's a step backwards in the cockpit, I think the economics will be fine and fill lots of roles in which the 757-200 are too much airplane (performance wise) right now.

Guys, we're already doing BOS, JFK, RDU, ATL, MCO, TPA and MIA to LAX on the -800. The -900 is not going to be blazing any new territory in that regard.

Or maybe it is just my observation that the -700 never operates during daylight hours and the -800 only flies occasionally in the sun. Every time I see them move they depart at 22:00 and stop at 05:30. If they are still flying at 06:30, then they are required to be in holding awaiting a clearance to an airport with a wet runway.
Southwest operates theirs during the day which must mean they bought off somebody with Pizza and Booze.
But you're wrong about setting records. We'd have a shot at setting a land speed record with a heavy -900 at SLC.
