I think what people don't fully appreciate is that the US will never allow Boeing to go bankrupt. A ecosystem around it is too important for the military industry.
Worst case scenario they'll order 200 of the worst assembled 737s as troop carriers. Hopefully they'll then just have them sit in an Arizona desert.
