Termination may be very unlikely unfortunately, however full recertification would be more manageable. Airlines hang on to their existing narrow body aircraft a few more years, Boeing is forced to actually certify the aircraft as airworthy. The reality is that the fleet is still less than 400 aircraft that were actually in service at the time of the grounding. That's a pretty small fleet of planes relatively.
