Kinda yes, kinda no. There have certainly been times, particularly after 9/11 and various crises, when demand dropped significantly.
There’s also airliners that just haven’t sold well. A340NG, A380, 747-8, 767-400, the MD-11, until recently the Cseries/A220. The A330neo has also not sold particularly well and you could probably get a slot within a year easily.
True, but this article is specifically about the 737. Apart from the a220, none of the aircraft you listed are both in production and part of the 737’s market segment.
The a320 neo family has about 7000 orders awaiting delivery. It is not feasible to switch for most airlines for the reasons I previously mentioned.
