> My question is this: how long does the MAX have to be grounded before the costs of it not being service end up more than (1) the costs of recertifying pilots, and (2) the costs of making the other design changes that would be needed to certifying as a new type under current rules and then getting it certified? This was the gamble that management took. Hopefully, they still get their bonuses. (/s)
