I think a great investment for your airline would be the ability to purchase winglets for your 737/727/757s!

Why? I looked in the new aircraft and you cannot do that yet.

miller said that there where no plans for winglets a long time ago

There really are no plans to add winglets, but the engine commonality is definitely something we can (and probably should) add.

I beg to differ. You have winglets on the Boeing 747-400 and the Boeing 747-400ER, so I don't know where the "no winglets" thing came from.
However, I am beginning to see why Miller decided not to add winglets. Since winglets make your plane more fuel efficient, Miller decided not to add winglets, so your plane would be fuel inefficient.
Seriously, I think it would take too much time to program.

Unless that was a joke that I am missing, I think he means models that weren't originally designed with winglets....... like the 737s and 757sOriginally posted by AirKevin

You're right. That was a joke you were missing. However, I believe the 737-700, -800, and -900 all had possible winglets.
