Nevertheless its a big damage for Boeing and could lead to punitive measures in the legal verdicts, whioch would effectively tripüle the costs thery would need to pay out.

In the early 90s, the aircraft company Piper went bancrupt due to such a punitive measure, which is a special characteristic in American law.

The close relation between Boeing and the Us government and its authorities, the closeness of producer and controlling authorities, even the political laziness of letting producers "control"

themselves (pharmaceutical industry...) , is a general problem, no matter what the causes for the crashes are.

The competition between the 737 Max and the Airbus 320 Neo is tough, Airbus currently is in the clear lead in number of orders. Pilots of other nations and carriers have complained about inadequate documentation provided by Boeing and inadequate or non- existent training on the Max's characteristic features. Thats why I think the above linked explanation chain is only one aspect of the total picture.

If Boeing hoped to gain any form of lead or avantage due to the A 380 project ending in a disastrous economic failure (the German subsidies will not be paid back, its lost money for the German tax payers), this hope now has collapsed. The 737 affair has the ingredients to be really crippling . If politics do not interfere of course, which they likely will do.

This is focussing on the possibility of inadequte cetification due to time pressure and Boeing wanting to react to the challenge by Airbus'S A320.
