I think after exposure of those text messages from 2016, 737 Max is DEAD! Muilenburg will be fired, massive layoffs and a COMPLETE redesign is needed to bring trust back. It’s ALL their own fault! Idiots relied on sales ppl to make a decision of building 737 Max as response to Airbus not thinking the larger engines essentially don’t fit this old airframe.

More importantly Boeing culture MUST CHANGE. This insanity of race to the bottom, only caring for quarterly results after another, building planes with unskilled labor outside of Washington, building uncomfortable cramped planes as selling point, without concern for safety or comfort, and NOT putting safety above all else, will END Boeing if it doesn’t stop and change its ways. They’re also behind Lockheed in all military contracts and their only hope is commercial. They probably need a 5yr rebuild, with lower profit just to get out of this mess for a much greater and improved future. At least that’s what I hope, for the sake of Boeing.
