That's the key issue.

Boeing's determination to NOT tell the pilots was a sales decision, not a safety one.

The fact that Boeing didn't widely publish the necessary information after the Lion Air crash is, IMO, more unconscionable than their initial decision to sell the 737-Max. I suspect Boeing's engineers were spending those weeks/months looking for a way to patch the software yet again to avoid being honest.

Well, it's too late now.

Boeing will very likely pay a higher price than if they'd just admitted it up front - much like VW and their dirty diesel.
