  1. Someone (Boeing) didn’t seem to remember the fate of the Convair 990...a little extra speed but significantly more to operate (and I bet to produce as well).

  2. Basically I think that passengers would be more willing to pay for some extra room/comfort than to shave less than 2 hours off of FLYING time. You still have to get to the airport 2 hours early, then you can easily have an additional 1 hour for TTL, then another 1 hour + to deplane, get your bags 💼 and go through customs. Not much total travel time knocked off.

  3. The Max is going to be the most thoroughly scrutinized aircraft in the past 20 years.

  4. Titanium is slightly more dense than Aluminum but 3x as strong, and the composites are even lighter.
