Now Boeing is blaming the potential revenue hit on "delays by regulators." Nicely done, Boeing PR.
Not only that, this statement was made to the Securities & Exchange Commission. Now the SEC are no fools, and if they determine that Boeing has been peddling nonsense about service re-entry and resumption of sales revenue, both to investors and now to them, that will not go down well.
