I agree, this will fade with the news cycle. Boeing has made considerable errors but their customers want the plane as it saves them money for retraining. If they have solved the engineering issues (and with this hot spotlight one would hope that is the case) this should end up being a bump in their long history. With this said, I still thing the general outrage at their handling of this is well deserved and the second crash should not have happened if they were focused more on safety and less myopically on their bottom line.

A "bump" consisting of mass murder for corporate greed. I would have given them the benefit of the doubt ater the Lion Air crash. Bad engineering, shortcuts, rottent decision making. But all those things happen. But that they didn't volountarily grounded the fleet then and there despite the fact that they had to know what was going on and thus sending another ~150 people to their certain death makes their behaviour totally unexcusable. Their lying, deflecting, obfuscating, smearing dead pilots and just about blaming everybody except themselves doesn't really help. Some bump in their history, I dare say.
