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
...
