As for your second paragraph, that is completely false. The 737-900 was already pushing the design limits of the 737.

The MAX's (hence my Frankenstein comment) take it a step further, with many aerodynamic drawbacks that Boeing has attempted to correct with software crap that obviously isn't working. That's not even talking about the mess that is the 737-10.

I love the 737 line, but it should've ended when they introduced the NG's.
