Still true today. The next chapter might not be so forgiving in 2025

Smoke all around and the smell burning flesh, it must be Boeing.
Their will be a reckoning one way or another.
Yep, sounds like Boeing leadership parlor talk.
Too bad. Life is cheap. We got filthy rich and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Hahahaha
More like a kick in the ba--s.
Yes, total lack of moral turpitude at Boeing. But Boeing is also becoming insignificant so not sure any of this will matter for much longer.
The Airbus A321neo outsells the MAX 10 by nearly five to one and the Airbus A220-300 outsells the MAX 7 by about 2.5:1. The MAX 7 is largely only a Southwest Airlines airplane...it has 240 of the 274 total orders. So whenever or however the MAX 7 and 10 actually get certified, they are insignificant and won't do much to change Boeing's fate.
So true and so sad.
This is just another vulger illustration of Boeing and Congressional corruption to put personal profits above public safety. Other than to bolster Boeing stock price for personal profit, this will do little to save Boeing as they no longer have the right stuff to successfully design/manufacture aerospace products in an increasingly more competitive world. Boeing has lacked substance in both leadership and engineering/manufacturing prowess for decades as amply illustrated by their endless and growing list of project failures.
Smaller market and negative order profit margin, but great executive bonuses and severance packages. The corruption never ends and the con game goes on forever.
EASA and CAAC have mandated putting a safe crew alerting system in 737Max no matter what corrupt Congress or FAA does. Boeing airplane market keeps getting smaller and is becoming almost insignificant anyhow.
The retrofits will never happen. In two or three years, the media will be leading the public by the nose after the next circus side show and the retrofit requirements will be quietly removed via some text buried in an obscure defense spending bill. This is the big payoff for moving corporate headquarters to DC, having the ability to line the pockets of legislators with Boeing money to make things like this just miraculously go away. It's a Christmas miracle! lol. Business as usual in the late, great United States.
