If the reported move by Silk Air to shift its MAX aircraft to long term storage in Australia is any indication, the return to service is rather more than a quarter away.
Boeing was building around 600 MAXes annually, worth at least $30 billion. Not sure how much longer they can afford to keep building them if the customers cannot fly them.
Where that financial blow will fall, given the extensive global supplier network involved, is a huge legal issue that has few precedents.
Perhaps it is darkest before dawn, but it sure does not look good to me.
