Dont forget the LRD issue. It needs resolved before certification, and then they'll have to circle back and implement the fix on the -8

or vice versa.

We are stuck in the mud with no appreciable growth for the next 3 or 4 years. If that thing actually shows up sometime in 2026 for revenue service it really won’t make a dent in overall fleet size until late 2027. It will just be replacing beat up 700s on a one-for-for basis initially.
From a long time buddy engineer at Boeing, the fix to the TAI has to be backward implemented on all the previously delivered max's so that gets time consuming and expensive unless you can find a quick, elegant, and inexpensive fix.

Guess all of you forgot about how long that actually took.

everyone thought the MAX grounding was going to go on forever until one day the FAA just did their job.

Honestly I think that one can be resolved in software. If LRD activates, bleed air PRSOV closes automatically. That should be simple, but I'm sure it isn't.

Or if VIB reaches a certain threshold. They can shut the valve before LRD is activated.
