Boeing really screwed the max up bad. If they had manufactured the plane with “the fix” already in place none of this would have ever happened. Once approved to return to service, the max will prove to be a reliable and efficient aircraft that generates the airlines plenty of money (even though it’s still just an overly stretched ancient design). There will be some consumer skepticism at first, but the airlines will have a big sale on summer travel and the allure of cheap tickets will win out. Five years from now the vast majority of our NB lift will be on the max and the consumers will have long since regained confidence and forgotten all about this.
