    My assumption is that the 737 Max is simply a fundamentally unsafe and unsound design.

    I’m sure within 15 years they’ll complete the final retrofit to make it safe and sound, and in the end, it will end up costing 300% of what a new design would have.

    But, it’ll actually work out for Boeing executives and shareholders, so it will be taught to future MBA student as a success story about the heroic and stoic leadership that generated record profits for the low cost of a few hundred lives.
