NMA decision is perpetually 6-12 months away. The business case was always difficult to close, and it's only become harder with MAX-related distractions and the raft of A321LR/XLR orders, even from "loyal" Boeing customers like UA. I certainly wouldn't bet money on it now...Boeing has bigger fish to fry anyway.
