Not going to happen.
Looks like AA has bet on the come: MAX expected to return to service Jan. 16, 2020
Well... I suppose it allows them to move some employees to the 797 project and get that thing moving.
Let's just hope that everything with the 797 that has to do with cockpit ergonomics, comfort, visibility, function, etc... is sub-contracted to Porsche. Having flown the 737, 757, and 767 now, I've realized that Boeing's HR has no idea who to hire for those design functions.

Not that it is any surprise since we are already 2 weeks into December, but the FAA Chief says 737 Max won't fly again until 2020.
How's the 737-Max doing on timeline? You still sticking to your original statement?
My guess was a 10-12 month grounding. Everything I'm hearing is lining up with that. Easter for the return to service is a safe bet from everything I've seen and heard from my company. Eventually the FAA will hear from enough Boeing-sponsored congress critters that if it doesn't get certified, they're going to lose votes and money, and then they will tell the FAA to un-ass their process, and then the FAA will tell EASA to stop playing politics/covering for shitass pilots (with the implied threat that the next time FiFi has an issue they can expect a real long grounding til it's back flying in the US), and then when something newer and more exciting gets in the news, the Max will be back.
Passengers who can't tell the difference between a Dash 8 and a Max 8 will swear they won't ride on one, until the ticket price is 3 dollars less than it is on another carrier, and then they'll happily jump on it.

Nothing I’ve seen from the selections in the release were false...

I like this, it is similar to a quote a mob guy made that was "never say anything out loud you don't want played back to you in court"
F--k these turds. I'd ask for executive firings and lawsuits (i.e., naming both Boeing and named executives in lawsuits) but that will never happen.
The company deserves every financial hardship coming its way.

I don't. They're a tremendous company with significant contributions to our economy and national defense. However, I do hope the events with the Max serve to recalibrate their strategic focus and leadership.
