   Boeing has been heavily criticised because they keep on adding things to the   
   737-concept to increase payload and range but there is a limit, and they have   
   been pushing that limit for a while rather than diving into a broad new design   
   on a white sheet of paper.   
       
   The market is shifting towards XLR-type single-aisle airplanes which is a gap   
   in the market Boeing has no plane for. AerLingus for example is doing   
   Dublin-DC in an A320LR, Iberia is doing Madrid-Boston in an A321XLR, AirCanada   
   is doing Halifax-Heathrow in a standard A319 ... You will not see a 737 on   
   such intercontinental services.   
       
   Naw the 757 ... "that" was samething. Always a smooth ride across the Atlantic   
   ...
