If anyone has travel plans in the short term inside that three week window, yes, it does suck, but such is life.
It's a guessing game for everyone .... but IIRC, the Ethiopian black boxes didn't even get to Paris until yesterday. The Indonesian analysis took several weeks .... and that was just to understand what the problem is. Meanwhile, the 787 grounding was three months. Will the 737 grounding be three months? Two? Four? Who knows ... but I'll be shocked if it's only three weeks.
