The general public WILL forget.
The slightly knowledgeable may not. However if it’s a direct flight on a Max v stops? Only flight?
Unless the Max never flies again it will sell, maybe under a new name.
Mmmmaaaaxxxxximum $ value is what will be seen!
Yeah, there’s a fair chance Boeing would love to get a high profile legacy customer to place some orders so as to espouse confidence in the aircraft. Both for future orders and those already flying. So a too good to refuse deal could make that a reality.
It it wouldn’t be out of the realms of possibility for this to be the case. Add in that the training, engineering and operational expertise is already there as well, so more $$$ saved.
