Currently, the 737NG is the only Boeing or Airbus aircraft that does not offer slide/rafts as an option. However, with many carriers now flying 737s overwater, I was wondering, could Boeing offer them on the 737 MAX?

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and ther
