... that the recently launched Boeing 737 MAX will be the replacement for the Boeing 737 Next Generation ?

Age, length, neutrality, sources fine. Adequate citations. No copyvio, plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Hook is cited but a bit dull (new model is replacement for old model, who would have thought?), though I'm struggling to come up with an alternative. Also, I'm not sure that "recently launched" is accurate since the first one won't be available until 2017. Yomangani ^talk 11:13, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
alt1:"...that the smallest member of the Boeing 737 Next Generation family will not be continued in the replacement Boeing 737 MAX family?
Article still passes all review points, I suggest alt1 on the basis that the discontinuation of a model size in between the old and new families seems interesting and hooky--Kev min § 23:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm fine with alt1. Sp33dyphil ^{"Ad astra"} 05:33, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
