Of course. I think that's part of a script all new B hires have to memorize. The whole world knows that nation states always find ways to subsidize their most important industries, and I think the complaints have become pro forma -- except for the stubborn few who insist on believing that there's actually such a thing as a "free" market.
So, llagonne66 thinks it will take Boeing 1-3 years to recover if the MAX flies again and 5-10 if it doesn't. I guess that could be right, if all those backed-up MAX orders come through in a big hurry.
