#2Well, yes, when you are unable or unwilling to build the product to modern safety standards, you should be forced to cancel it.

#3What's the point of this plane? It's not that cheap, it's not that good for fuel efficiency, it misses most modern (decade old) systems like eicas. Seems another odd Boeing plane that woukd only sell because the competition cannot fill all orders.

Easy baggage loading at remote airports.

is the consensus that Boeing's engineering prowess is unrecoverable now, post-McDD merger?

It being a refresh of old design, means it's cheaper to retrain people (don't have to full training for the totally different aircraft), a lot of your supporting infrastructure can stay the same while being cheaper to operate.
And, in theory (ahm, MAX had some tiny, minor issues there) should be safe and reliable, as it's based on well known and tested platform.

I don’t know if that is the consensus but I struggle to find a major program there that isn’t completely rotten.

#8Ah great, then US carriers could use their ordered 737-MAX 10's to run all of those flights they keep cancelling lately. Silver lining folks!

That's a very nice way of saying that it finds a way to extract profit from regulatory systems which 10yr olds could poke holes in. /hj

#10>> "the debts that we’ve had to accumulate"
Like the $5B (and counting) for bungling the KC-46 design?
