Boeing is at that stage of an organizational screwup where, anytime they
hit a pause in the deluge of self-inflicted pain, they can amuse
themselves by calculating the latest ever-more-dizzying number of times
their total cost of recovery will exceed the pittance their
corner-cutting saved.
This thing /should/ serve as an object lesson for generations to come.
Not just at Boeing either.
Realistically, the lessons might stick for as much as a decade before a
new generation of know-nothing marketeers decides /their/
too-clever-by-half plan to save a bit of time and money is /different/.
A decade, maybe. Probably less.

Boeing is telling customers and suppliers that the 737 MAX will not receive its first regulatory approvals until “mid-2020,” which all but ensures MAX operators will not have the aircraft before the peak mid-year travel period ends.
The FAA is finding issues with the FMS as well apparently. Mother Boeing really took a hit on this one and the supplier industry fallout is becoming significant. 3000 lay-offs at Spirit alone. What went wrong with Boeing may be a book title soon.
