Boeing behind the curve without 757 replacement...

Time for a 757MAX! Too bad production ended years ago....

Twin engine B-707?

Too bad they retired the wrong aircraft....the 737 is an obsolete POS...the A320 variants are superior in almost every way. If they would have made an improved 757 then Boeing would still be competitive in the narrow body market. SWA can be blamed for keeping the 73 alive and the 75 being $hitcanned. Boeing was not even allowed to improve the overhead panel for nextgen because WN didn't want it changed.

757 would look good in SW colors... and would instantly render the A321 obsolete.

Yup....I agree.

The 787 was too little too late. Boeing (Commercial Aircraft) is headed to the dust bin of history.

Sad to see it end.

You're opinion is not based on fact.

Boeing built 10,000 737's, SWA owns 700ish. Do the math.
