Boeing had better have every single expert to hand with every schematic and line of code ready to be looked at. If the inspecting Engineers ask for clarification on X,Y and Z it could take Boeing another month to go get the information and come back. This could be a simple exercise or could be months depending on what depth it goes to..And the final answer may not be positive. I was worried when I heard since MCAS was fingered that a cross FCC bus was added to handle it better. That's major tinkering with major components. Not the sort of thing to be done in a few months as an add-on!
Hopefully none of the regulators will take any notice of the commercial imperatives to getting the MAX back in the air. Trump's White House might browbeat the FAA but none of the foreign regulators..
