Well, they were rattled enough to postpone the global launch of their new 777X which was slated for this week.

That is even worse; they are sorta implying whatever is wrong with the max is also wrong with the 777x.

They need to ground the max so they control for how long for and what is needed to clear them.

I disagree. They’re simply showing enough compassion to know that it’s not appropriate to throw a part while 150 families are mourning.

believe he'd like a s/part/party/ in there.

That said, it's more realistic they're delaying it because they don't want the bad press of the 737MAX to bring down the announcement of the new plane.
