Boeing’s customers have no choice. There is only one other option in town, and Airbus is at capacity for quite a few more years. The only threat Boeing has is governments fining them. So as long as governments (or the US government) let Boeing continue to function, there should be sufficient time to fix culture.

Shareholders might have an opinion though, and Ryanair buying MAX's at a discount when nobody else wanted them might not make them happy.

> Ryanair buying MAX's at a discount

I mean, to be fair this plays right into Ryanair's strategy. Want a door plug? Pay extra.

No, want a door plug? Pay less (as you would be paying by risking your life).

Yea they could play it both ways, before and after the plug leaves the plane...

They could still charge extra depending on your pro/con door plug attitude with rationale matching your beliefs as to why they’re charging more.
