On the face of it, it really doesn't seem like making changes that were contributory to the mishaps was all that much work. But it is like what I have encountered with a medical problem and the FAA. Once they get their nose under the tent they find one thing after another that must be addressed. Make the required changes, send it up the flag pole for approval and get back another unexpected list of discrepancies to attend to. They can be minimally related to the issue at hand or completely unrelated. No one noticed or cared for years. Even previously approved. But they still have the force of an FAA order.

Looks like more cuts for Boeing. Blaming COVID & 737MAX grounding.

Burning through $22 billion in cash in 18 months? Good grief. I work for a F500, and that’s still like 2 3/4 years of total revenue for us.

Not great timing to bring it back when airlines have tons of planes parked, but bringing it back now may have a silver lining that people are too scared of the scary virus to be scared of the scary airplane.

And several canceled (Big buck$$$ ~1,0000,000,000):
"Boeing sales of new planes have plunged because of the Max crisis and the coronavirus pandemic. Orders for more than 1,000 Max jets have been canceled or removed from Boeing's backlog this year. Each plane carries a sticker price between $99 million and $135 million, although airlines routinely pay far less than list price. "
