Barely and not in all scenarios.
The NMA will have a massively higher range than the 753; it isn't targeting 2000 mile routes the way the 753 does.
I think the expectation is for existing routes to be modestly upgauged due to long-term population and GDP growth.

But the bottleneck for unloading has always been the aisle/overhead bins.
