The problem for me is not with the error that happened but by the response of the CEO for the accident. People who fly on new planes can't be bullsh*tted that easily, as they read news all the time. The Boeing CEO has no idea how much he is in the center of attention for his clients right now.

I think he underestimates how well informed people are, or maybe I'm overestimating. It's good that he said that Boing takes responsibility, but instead of saying that he's confident in 737 MAX he should have said that he's making sure that the fix is well tested. Also he could have gone into the details of the verification plan to calm the technical crowd.

Anyways, we'll see how the stock price looks in a year, I sincerely have no idea, but I think airlines outside US will try to prefer Airbus for new contracts in the next year.
