Either way, if they had rebranded the 737 MAX and this was the 'Boeing Stratoliner' or something like that the press wouldn't be nearly as bad on this event. But the people running this company are obviously incompetent.
The CEO was replaced after the MCAS debacle, in early 2020.
There was an attempt to rebrand as "737-8", "737-9" etc which didn't seem to fully take off. I have seen safety cards labeled that way.
