At what point will Boeing decide to just scrap them all? Are they relying on the flying public being oblivious to what plane they're getting on? I know I wouldn't board a Max regardless.
- sanxiyn 7y agoNot happening. We are talking about many billions of dollars of capital investment, even if we only count already built aircraft.
- rossdavidh 7y agoWhen a major regulator (probably not the FAA, maybe European) finally announces, "we are never certifying this plane model".
- rasz 7y agoNo way government allows it to be scrapped. Worst case scenario they will be refitted for cargo duty, or 'purchased' by army/navy at a reverse discount to prop Boeing up.
- ardy42 7y ago> or 'purchased' by army/navy at a reverse discount to prop Boeing up. What use would the military even have for such a plane? The only thing I can think of is ferrying personnel out to deployments, but I understand 737s are fairly short range planes and better, cheaper charter flights are probably available.
