You can't really just up and retool a production line for a one year delay. Even switching to 737NG isn't really possible. And the triple 7 isn't a replacement

  It should have been pretty obvious that this plane was a turkey and that building more of them was just throwing good money after bad. Meanwhile, they could have been producing more planes that don't have problems, and actually sell, even if they are for different markets. There's a backlog for all planes, so switching to something else would have at least helped clear that backlog and net more profit, instead of just building more planes that are just going to sit in parking lots. While doing this, they should have immediately started work on engineering for an all-new replacement for the 737. Of course, instead of having me as their CEO, Boeing would rather have some clown like Muilenberg who makes stupid decisions that got them to where they are now, and then give him a giant golden parachute when they get rid of him for incompetence. I would have cost far less.
