But with that the 737 20 years older tech than the 757. Their logic just doesn't flow.

I hope they can sort it out. I'd hate to see the bottom of the Boeing logo say....
"Boeing, A division of Airbus."

I agree. The interesting thing about the 737 was they never thought they'd sell many. When they couldn't stop selling them they finally redesigned the wing, and stretched it. Just like when they designed the 747 for the military heavy lift contract against the C-5. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than smart. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
