Maybe, but this rolling delay and putting all the faith in Boeing & the regulators is hurting. Had they known this would be between an 18 - 24 month grounding they might have done something last summer.
Keeping in mind this model of aircraft is at great risk should anything were to happen after being redeployed after recertified.
