Airlines that use 737's on trans-Atlantic routes may benefit from the
7E7 as a replacement if load factors increase. But the vast majority
of 737's live in a high cycle, short flight environment. Not
something touted as a big selling point of the 7E7.

" that can use the greater capacity " is IMHO the ctical factor.
If you don't need the capacity ( or its range ) - you don't need 7E7 - period.
Do you *really* see 7E7s replacing 737s ? Sounds bonkers to me. Totally
different operating scenarios.
