The MAX is an absolute disaster.

it’s all part of the same problem that came from a paint coating that is affecting the grounding path.
FAA does not seem to think it’s worth a grounding but Boeing is being proactive. Takes 2 days to fix.
boeing should not and will not scrap the MAX. Believe it or not airlines love it, people aren’t avoiding it and this issue is minor and came from a production process change.
what you suggest is the worst thing any OEM can possibly do.
what I can tell you is, this is not the last problem the MAX will have in it’s in service.
let us also be aware of the timing of this. This problem was birthed just after the second crash, so it’s not just occurring now. Boeing is only just discovering it now because of the changes they have made to reviews and quality control.
let us put things into perspective.
