I actually think chasing after XLR is suicide as well. Agree, just like when then came with the MAX to chase after the NEO |

I actually think chasing after XLR is suicide as well. It'll be more or less clean sheet with ton of upfront RD cost and late EIS + new production line. That's why Boeing came up with the NMA in the first place - it would not be a true A321 XLR competitor, rather an aircraft reopening a market space previously served by the A300, A310, 767 and presently lacking a modern offering. They apparently couldn't close the business case. |

Deal's comments about the new aircraft seem to describe 'some' NMA design ... Whether that means the same as before, or another design, or even a still undefined aircraft is unclear.
The comments about a 'freighter renewal strategy' are hardly more clear.

(Boeing)Feeling confident for an EIS by 2026. Let's hope it is not another disaster in the making  |

leehamnews.com/2021/02/03/finally-boeing-moves-in-the-right-direction/Aviation Week reported this week Boeing appears to be developing a third member of the New Midmarket Airplane (NMA), dubbed the NMA-5X. The NMA-5X is sized directly across from the Airbus A321neo family. It’s the third member of the NMA family that was missing throughout Boeing’s struggles to form a business model for the NMA.

They have a point. At this time nobody has the money to spend on some expensive new family development without airlines being able to order for some time to come. They should have launched it right after the 787 came out.
Still Boeing must redefine it's roadmap. They risk to wait too long. For the time being the A321neo is left totally unchallenged.
