  Based on the physical fact that the engines are different, mounted in a different place, and generate different thrust vectors.

    Engines are also very different between 737 Original and Classic, so having different thrust vectors between generations is not happening for the first time.

      And exactly my point. The parent comment stated a fact that could be true or not be true. And it's almost certainly something they read and therefore interpreted as significant an important fact. And that was what I was saying. All the info you read regardless of whether it is quoting an expert or not [1] comes 2nd hand and with nominal validity vs. people at Boeing being in a position (by the fact they employ and have access to actual experts) much better able to assess the danger. Of course I don't know if what you are saying is correct but that doesn't matter for the point I am making but thanks for making it just the same! [1] Which assumes the expert is even being quoted correctly which as anyone knows is not always the case.
