Of course. All of those things combined have made for a rough summer.

Lastest speculation on the United forums for them acquiring 19 used 737-700:
Copa (But they only have 7)
Avianca (But they have none)
Southwest (But they has said they will replace with MAXs)
China (someplace, some airline, but speculation, no other info)
Clearly they don’t know any more either.

“Ahead of its earnings report next week, Boeing on Thursday said it will report an after-tax charge of $4.9 billion related to its grounded 737 Max jets.”
So how much did Boeing stand to gain? I’m sure well north of this figure. Seems like a nice compensation until reality sets in about how many this gets divided up for. Wish they would have just restarted the 757 line, updated with composites/engines/new wing etc. for a cheaper operating cost, but the orders would never have been as high due to the “Southwest” factor.

Boeing doesn't want to ever take a moonshot again, the problem is they need to at this point to prevent Airbus running away with the narrowbody market.
