'Potential replacement for the 737 MAX'

Latest comment: 4 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Does that really belong in the section it's in? I feel like it should be in the Boeing Commercial Airplanes article, because an aircraft to supercede the 737 MAX doesn't really have anything to do with safety problems. Sneakysasquatchfan (talk) 00:09, 12 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Good point. The BCA article is the fit for 737 replacement info. -Fnlayson (talk) 13:07, 12 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. LizardJr8 (talk) 00:09, 10 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

What is your source? You say it's not mentioned in any books, but you don't mention where you came across that claim. - ZLEA ^TǀC 00:15, 10 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
