> The US Gov't may not allow Boeing to fail

I agree entirely. They'll either bail them out, or just pass laws that prevent Boeing from being Sued.

The government might pass laws, but it will only fly inside the States if other countries disagree. In this one, Boeing is limited.

At one point in time the US State Department and presidential admin would've been able to negotiate, coax, or strong-arm other countries to certify things they were reluctant to. With a gutted state dept and an admin full of incompetence, this wouldn't happen nowadays...

Both China and the EU have said that they will independently recertificatify the plains.

They could force them to spin off the defense contractor part and only bail that part out, perhaps.
