Who else is worried that the second 737 crash will result in more layoffs at Boeing? I don't remember the last time I was this nervous, waiting to see what was going to happen.

The 737 MAX not flying costs the company 1.5 Billion a month.

Pretty sure we will see announcements for layoffs by mid second quarter, just a hunch from a long time employee.
Boeing used to regularly have layoffs. They seemed to occur in the first or last months of a decade. And this was when airlines ordered and flew far fewer aircraft. (I can remember a banner headline on the first page of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper, probably in the early 1960s: "TAP orders 3 727s". (Alaska Airlines took delivery of two new 727s in the fall of 1966, doubling its fleet as it sold its previous orphan Convair 880>)

CEO says, "just the cost of doing business"
time to cut off outsourcing.
also declare bankruptcy and let another company build a plane that's impossible to crash
tesla pulled off reusable rockets and they don't crash
someone else will build a plane that won't crash
I just wish we knew more...
