Here's my speculative candidate for 'deep, unacceptable issues'.
Perhaps the FAA will no longer accept Boeing's contention that this aircraft is 'just a 737'. Could it be that the FAA has told Boeing to certify the MAX as a new type? Boeing would resist that obviously because of the cost of the certification and the re-training costs its customers would face.
I agree that the SEC should be watching this carefully but after Madoff I wouldn't trust them to watch a kettle boil.
