It's just sad how much of this idiocy is driven by the idea that "we don't want to have to get re-certified". It's 100% short-term thinking because if they'd just bite the bullet and get re-certified they'd likely be setup for another 30+ years on the new airframe. Of course, that would also mean airlines would have a reason to look at the alternatives, so I guess they're also admitting they don't think they can produce a new airframe that's attractive enough to win on merit.

It's be nice to know how much of this is Boeing and how much is Boeing's customers. 95/5? 80/20? 50/50? It's hard to believe that Boeing doesn't want to build a brand-new 737-sized aircraft.
