It does not make any sense to me to stretch the 737 another time. So a longer single aisle (or maybe small widebody for cargo containers) would need to be a new aircraft. That would need to be a part of a future 737-follow on family and to make this promising enough you need the next engine generation available by the early to mid 2020s.
Fiddling around with the 737 will just ruin it's simplicity and reliability.
Maybe some "787-3 MAX" with some better wing would be the easiest solution? However it's production cost might be too high and global supplier system too complicate for real mass production.

I was wondering if the 737MAX has flown since its FF?...

Hopefully for Boeing not too much rework will be needed on these frames and they don't end up with another "terrible teens" story

(though long-time glitches can happen, we have an example of it on the other side, right now )

If true, this will be an interesting new development. What can Boeing offer now that they couldn't when they first designed the MAX 7 ?
