The 737 MAX 7 now is a bit larger than initially intended (two additional rows), but it also has increased commonality with the 737 MAX 8, which must make it more heavy. I understand that the -7 now is a shrinked -8. Is that right ?

I understand that the -7 now is a shrinked -8. Is that right ? Probably it is going to be cheaper to produce/buy and more expensive to operate. We will see how will the airlines react. There is a lot of routes too thin to operate by 738/320 but the CS300 and E2 are in the more-less same segment and it starts to be tough there. |

I think you have missed the point, Boeing have reacted to what the airlines have already told them, hence the redesign  |

I haven not missed that stealthmanbob - There is one or maybe two big customers who decided to push for this step - and there was the "price push" from BO  Once again there is a real question how much space is in this segment. It seems that Airbus is not pushing too hard there. There is not much going on with A319neo. I do not predict it will not be, but as we see now the sales and production of the smallest model is "not much" and it seems similar to the situation with B736/A318 some years back and i am sure we will agree that those are dead for some time  As it seems the narrower planes are in this size more effective - the drag/weight per seat is smaller.... i.e. to compete with the larger CSs and E2s the short and relatively wide and heavy smallest members of 3-3 family have clear disadvantage |
