Re: The Max is likely dead anyway and Boeing may end up bankrupt.
I strongly disagree.
The 737 MAX - after almost 500,000 flights - has a perfect safety record in North America, Europe, and wealthy Asian countries.
Boeing’s stock price - $332 ($187 billion market cap) - is currently higher than it was in January 2019.
The plane has a system that can result in pointing the nose of the aircraft suddenly toward the ground at low altitudes and without pilot input. The system is only there to simulate the way a regular 737 flies so pilots that were already certified to fly the 737 wouldn’t have to retrain for a new plane. It was a short cut so the plane could be brought to market sooner without a total redesign. If the pilot knows how to quickly disarm the system everybody lives. If he doesn’t everybody just might die. An unbelievably flawed and dangerous design.
