I suspect that the timeline for deliveries is different for each of Boeings individual customers. I doubt that any customers will cancel orders for the time being while Boeing are continuing production of the MAX. Apart from anything else, there are no readily available alternatives, and anything with six wheels and two wings with over 100 seats is already leased to fill the gap.
