How long will it take ?
IMHO, it will depend on whether the Max can be re-certified.
If the Max is re-certified, it will be one to three years.
If not, a five to ten years timeframe looks reasonable (in this last case, they will be heavily supported by the US DoD with a big additional order of tankers).
Eventually Boeing will regain trust and will continue to sell commercial jets. That said the FAA must do its job and certify new jets independent of corporate interference. The performance by D.M. shows the arrogance of CEO when called out.
