Well the Max was already certified, over 300 had been delivered and were in service. The fault lies with the FAA for allowing Boeing to call the 737max a variant of an existing type and not a completely new type if it now wants to make it built to all modern specifications. If the FAA are now saying they made a mistake and allowed an aircraft built to incorrect standards to enter service then I would have thought that would open them up to a rather large legal liability.
