Tis good to see an airline exec tell Boeing they need a replacement for the 757, that there is a sweet spot in their system for it.
Really would be cool to see them bring the 75 back. Maybe make a few adjustments to it. I know it won't happen, but just a thought.
I guess it would be kinda like Airbus and the 380neo; it would depend on who laid some money down and put some skin in the game. After 10 years out of production, you would be basically talking a clean sheet aircraft. With most of the stuff still in place for the build, it might be less than a clean sheet but Boeing would have to treat it like one. There was a reason that orders dwindled in the 4-5 years before production halted on it.
