Boeing going to max its efforts for the max

The article subtitle says :
"The crisis-hit planemaker is deploying 1,500 engineers — as many as it takes to design a new small jet — as part of a program to get hundreds of its best-selling aircraft back into service worldwide"

It is not clear if this refers to engineers or technicians (Americans often call all of them "engineers"), but it makes you wonder why Boeing has not come up with a viable solution yet.
Month after month since March, the CEO has kept telling the fix was ready.
How come so many engineers are required for months for a simple software fix ?
Isn't there more to it than just this alleged fix ?
