I would have thought they'd pull the plug on these new jets they had to fake safety compliance for and keep the older, working models that people will actually fly on.

I can't imagine anybody flying on a 737 Max even if the Boeing execs over at the FAA claim it's safe again.

This article is about the 747, not the 737. So far as I know, the 747 never had to fake safety compliance in any way.
