I love old tech as much as the next guy, but they should have designed a new plane. Long term, they would be so much better off with a brand new design, but it was a short term financial decision that backfired.
The 737 Max reminds me of Myth Busters strapping a JATO rocket to a Chevy Impala.

It is a 737, the airframe with the best track record on the planet. It is too bad they did not have a voting/contention algorithm between the two angle of attack sensors and chose to only use one as the authoritative source. That was a boneheaded coding decision. The other sensor had live data on the network that was there for the using. It is too bad the pilots failed to absorb the training update telling them to switch off the system when it was causing control inputs that were obviously wrong. It is too bad the pilots did not simply switch it off. I have had runaway trim motors try to do this to me before and that is something you learn during primary training. Even then, you can recover almost all upsets with “push-power-rudder-roll-climb”. It is too bad that Boeing did not immediately tell operators to cease using that system after the first crash. But this is just one system amongst hundreds on the aircraft, all tried and true for many years.

Think F35 and how long it took to get that kind of sort of right. The CG is too far forward. Perhaps if they stretched the aft section a little and swept the wings back a little but then it wouldn't be a 737 anymore. I have an idea of building up a list of ISPs with rural exposure and shorting them because Sarlink is going to blow up a lot of their business model. In particular, I'd look for double play ISPs with ARPU above about 75.

The MAX 737 saga is coming to an end and their while system will be better because of it. And then it will be forgotten. Just like VW emissions testing... Even so, I am going to stick with my super high priced index fund. It is at a historical high and I still dumped more money into it. From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Monday, November 11, 2019 8:26 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT bad stock tips Something like 6 months ago my financial advisor convinced me to sell my GM stock and buy Boeing. I’ve suspected I did something stupid ever since. Getting out of GM was probably OK, but I think Boeing has plenty of room to drop. I am afraid investors may dump BA as end of year approaches to clean up their portfolio or take tax losses, and in any case, they are not looking like a well run company. So if you want to double down on your Moviepass adventure, you could buy a bunch of Boeing. Or how about Frontier Communications? A bargain at less than $1. 5 years ago they were at $100. Bloomberg article a couple days ago says they are looking for a new CEO ahead of an expected bankruptcy filing. Which was totally predictable when they took on a mountain of debt to buy all the areas that Verizon and AT&T didn’t want. It has to be bottoming out. No where to go but up, right?
