Yeah, but whether the hit is permanent or long lasting is still up in the air (unlike the 737 Max 8). On the one hand this could just turn out to be a coincidence or an easily fixed issue and Boeing's stock will rebound quickly. Or it could mean a massive recall of this model which will hurt Boeing for years to come. The current price is a reflection of this uncertainty and it could go either way.
- aphextron 8y agoIt wouldn't surpise me if this were the final nail that shifted global orders toward the A320 Neo. Boeing has been putting lipstick on a pig with the 737 for 20 years now and people know it. They've only held out so long on their reputation at this point, and now that's in the gutter. The A320 Neo is an all around better, more modern aircraft built with computerized systems in mind from the ground up.

- snovv_crash 8y agoThe 737 was a 30 year old airframe 20 years ago. Boeing was really trying to sneak past regulators on this one - reading pilot forums, people are also complaining about avionics updates that they didn't get any re-training for either.
- everybodyknows 8y agoIf Boeing can't get away with a software-only fix, it could become very expensive indeed.
