I think Boeing can only sell the 767-300ER by giving a hefty discount. I would imagine the buyer being United as they seem now to buy discounted old type frames, looking more one CAPEX than running cost.

The starting point of this story seems to be that Boeing asked its suppliers how quickly they could ramp up 767 production to execute a large order. www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2017/10/19/boeing-767-production-increase-everett-united.htmlI don't think that this means that Boeing has got such an order - rather, Boeing hopes to win it. I suspect that what happens is that UA, seeing that Boeing talks about the NMA/797 but is not committing to launch it, has just issued a RFP to see how Boeing would answer. Unable to offer the NMA/797 in the required time frame if at all, Boeing may intend to offer new 767s at a firesale price, and questions its suppliers to get the delivery timeline right... |

The above piece is the first I ever read that mentions a possible NMA dedicated freighter version.
