Ouch.
I agree that the Max issues are huge, IATA are saying August for the recertification - I think even that is optimistic. But what do I know.
What is clear is that with such a huge backlog of grounded and partially completed aircraft to fix (about 500 and rising by 40+ per month) it will be next summer season in Europe before all the wrinkles of this year will have been resolved.
