- guiriduro 6y agoYou should probably see it in terms of bottom line rather than top line, i.e. the operating margin gained on each sale is about $12M according to wikipedia, so they would need to sell 200 maxes to obtain the net cash they will use to pay the fines.
- Taek 6y agoYou're telling me the fine is something like 5% of the profit collected from making the 737MAX?
- imtringued 6y agoSounds like the real punishment should have been the abolishment of the 737 MAX. All the R&D money would be lost and they'd have to start over with a new model.
