CHICAGO - Boeing Co is taking a fresh look at a potential new mid-market aircraft, Chief Executive Dave Calhoun said on Wednesday, putting the brakes on a project that became overshadowed by the fallout of the 737 MAX. “Since the first clean sheet of paper was taken to it, things have changed a bit,” Calhoun told journalists in reference to the plane, codenamed NMA.

Separately, a Boeing spokesman said Calhoun had asked for a new market study on what kind of aircraft was needed in a new competitive playing field.

Boring cannot afford to underestimate the publics lack of confidence in the 737 Max now. They need to scrap that line irrespective of the cost, or at least show a replacement of the computer systems with one used in existing aircraft, & ditch the 737 Max name

They fucked up on a biblical scale. They discontinued the 757 production banking that the Max's would fill the void, but its a defective design that was supposed to be hidden/covered up by superior software. We all see how that's turning out.

Trump's climate inaction has left companies stepping up to fill the gap, Nasdaq CEO saysNasdaq's CEO said U.S. inaction on climate change is 'not necessarily a good thing' and has left a 'hole' for companies to fill in. Tiresome. That’s the spirit. Put private sector to work on problems if you want them properly defined and handled. Nasdaq profits off of the climate by selling green bonds and green funds. Of course they like the climate crisis.
