https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...=.58859d79d3c5 Given that this is the busy summer season, this suggests no quick fix, and disruption to come when peak summer season leaves the airlines with fewer spares and in UA's case, full demand for the wid-body fleet that they have been using to back fill..
Goes to my earlier prediction that it could be Q4 2019 or more like Q1 2020 before these will fly again. I came across multiple news report stating that Boeing bounced back after grounding the 787 for 3 months and similarly they will do so with the MAX'es. Why do they not state the fact that MAX'es have killed ~350 people where the 787 did not so was able to get back without much fanfare? Shows the inherent bias of the articles.
