It's only hypothetical if people are willing to fly on Boeing planes anyway. The current level of air travel isn't necessary, neither are airlines. Sure the industry would be trashed, but if that's because passengers lost faith in both Boeing and airlines willing to keep them in the air then there really isn't anyone else to blame. Why should we assume that air travel can't be meaningfully reduced and that passengers can't possibly decide to drive or stay closer to home?
