Narrowbody... Haha.. Y’all keep flying those baby airplanes, I’ll stick with widebody aircraft! ?
Single engine performance for heavy, hot, high altitude, shorter runways.
Actually the “797” will be the Boeing replacement. If the Max doesn’t crush them.Will be interesting if the 777X actually gets any more love. Most WB buys seem to be 773ER/787 or 330NEO/350, while there’s no real 757 replacement. ??

And you heard it first but FedEx Express will be the launch customer for the B797F
I’m ready for the 321 XLRs to show up in 23. I should be in a good position seniority wise to enjoy what were historically 75 destinations. Hopefully it will come with group 3 pay.
Which then enables - new routes?
Faster old routes?
Thinking from a business perspective.
Probably carrying more stuff out of heavy, hot, high altitude, shorter runways in Frank’s case.
It opens up airports that you wouldn't be allowed to fly out of otherwise (have to have single engine performance to climb out of the airport even it it's elevated and surrounded by terrain) or that you'd only be allowed to fly out of with when weight restricted (less fuel or less payload).
Takeoff performance is based on both engines getting you to decision speed down the runway, then one engine blowing up at that exact moment, and the remaining engine getting you off the ground and climbing over the mountains around the airport (or at least through a gap between the peaks)... sort of but pretty much.
Enables carrying more shit, or people.
Speed is airframe limited not so much the engines.
Don’t know much about the business perspective but more thrust and newer engines would be a win. Not having to reduce freight (or people) or load less fuel especially for longer flights has to be a win.
I have heard that part of the business sense of the 777 (pax models, not freight) is the freight it can carry down below in addition to Pax and their luggage.
As to Boing NMA, I was hoping to see something at Paris this year, but the bad press from the MAX debacle seems to be overshadowing anything else. Exciting times nonetheless.

Not just for the airlines. Entire Fortune 500 businesses are built around being able to (among other things) package up many people’s stuff, buy that airline freight capacity in bulk, and still give customers a good deal while making money. Ocean shipping containers, too.
The airline and FedEx/UPS crowd here has probably hauled quite a bit of my company’s freight. Logistics isn’t sexy, but it makes the economy go round.
