Different weights and speeds seems minor. Different systems maybe not....

MCAS fail seems like a big deal. Heck, just having MCAS and not knowing about it seems big too.

I've seen Taffy's airplane at RAF Duxford. Great story.

He only needed emotional counseling for the rest of his life. 12 minutes of terror and a basket-case for life.

Now its a new separate problem and a fall/end of year time frame at best.

Does Boeing survive this?

Boeing certainly survives this. They are half of a world wide duopoly on commercial aircraft manufacturing. There is too much at stake for them to just go away. Airbus cannot handle the current demand for commercial aircraft alone. The economic impact would cut deep world wide if Boeing closed it's doors tomorrow. It's all about "accurate funds dispersion". After all the important players and and perceived threats get paid, this all goes away and it's business as usual. "Too big to fail" comes to mind. Unfortunately.
