Nonsense.

I think it's entirely possible nobody ever takes deliveries of the MAX-7 or MAX-10. Even disregarding the enormous costs associated with the delivery delays, the liability to any company flying any new MAX aircraft delivered after the repeated incidents and reported process failures at both Boeing and Spirit is absolutely staggering. It's very difficult to imagine anyone at any major airline who is fully comfortable with the idea of taking delivery of any new Boeing 737 aircraft manufactured in the last few years. The potential liability that goes along with operating aircraft manufactured in the current miserably failing environment at Boeing has to run into the Billions. At some point an adult is going to stand up and announce a change in direction that does not include taking deliveries of any more 737s.
