Why did Boeing never make a direct replacement for the 757? I get the MAX10 and MAX9 are trying to fill some type of void but I read recently the A321neo is outselling the MAX five to one.
The A321neo reminds me of a newer 757 every time I’ve been on one but I’m a Boeing guy through and through so I really wish they would develop a 757NG if you will.
The 787 and 757 NG could’ve been developed simultaneously just like the 767/757. Obviously there’s been a whole slew of issues with MAX production, etc. but even prior to that airlines had already placed a ton of A321neo orders.
What do y’all think? #aviation #airline

The newer 737s have too much overlap with the 757 to keep the 757 around as-is.
Even with a re-engine, the 57 would be much heavier than the A321neo.
What Boeing needs is a clean sheet replacement that can compete with the 321neo in terms of price, weight and fuel consumption.
A321neo can sell a lot of orders in the interim taking that market share.
Boeing wasn’t too smart with this: it’s not like they didn’t have a LONG preview of the 767/757 decline. The 767 they made into the 787 and the 757 they just sort of threw in the towel.
