Replacement for the 737? Endorsed by SWA

[Amish RakeFight]

its called the 797. Two aisles & 199 pax. The return of the 10 minute turn.

Okay, I gotta ask. If they do, which they may, name this recent endeavour the 797, what comes next? The digits between the 7's have been exhausted.

In all seriousness, does anyone know how Boeing starting numbering their types?

Well, 7 is a good a number to start with since it's a lucky number.

Hey, as long as Boeing doesnt cave and alllow Mullet jogging Suit Airlines, i mean Southwest, to bolt in the current 737 overhead panel, display analog instruments on a full glass setup and disable autothrottles/VNAV, theyll have a great airplane!

Easy now, were putting all that stuff back in by 2009. Great cost savings...

The Chinese already have the replacement of the DC-9 covered, but it looks a little bigger than the Barbie-Jets
