Another deadly 737 Max control bug just found!

Additionally, it is bad timing for  re-entry because of reduced travel demand over the coronavirus situation.

Actually sounds like a meeting I attended yesterday.   
Management wants it done in 2 years.  Was not amused when I estimated taking 16++ man years.  Which has based on the actual time it took 3 other very similar projects.  But two years it is, going live with a big bang. Time to jump ship.

  This sounds like the company that I used to work for. We called it "having Martin babies", i.e.  9 women and 1 month.

Also have a look at blancolirio youtube for his comments on the MAX, - worth noting was the estimated time to train pilots for the plane

If the tickets are cheap enough on the Max...   they will fill the planes.   Passenger anxiety will drop off quickly and disappear entirely, and the fixed Max will eventually be a success...  provided there are no accidents!

Oh really.
Trust has been damaged way too much for this to happen IMO.
Besides, supposing there would be enough people ready to forget about the debacle just because prices are low - that would be putting the burden of operating the 737MAX on the shoulders of the airline companies! That's non-sense. They already lost significant money with the 737MAX so far, how can you think they'll be OK with further cutting their prices just to be able to use the planes? Many would probably rather sue the ass off Boeing until they get compensated rather than lose more money. Just a thought, but what makes you think that getting companies to lower their prices due to Boeing's fuck-up could be acceptable for them?
