Out of everything out there, aircraft are NOT something to skimp and take shortcuts on. These fucks don't care if we die on their aircraft if it means making shareholders a bit more money. God, I can't wait for this system to fall apart.
I don't work for Airbus, but they could crush Boeing by taking a profit hit and offering at-cost, financed replacements over the long term for anyone with a MAX. I imagine going that route could be cheaper than grounding all your aircraft or loosing one with all aboard.
