Coronavirus is working out as a convenient reprieve for Boeing, allowing them to get their ducks in a row with the MCAS issues and beyond. Their distance behind Airbus is reducing as flights and airframes are grounded for one reason or another. If this all ends up in a
grotesque shrinkage of the airliner market, then frankly, Boeing are are screwed (government help aside). But if it just ends up as a 12-18 month pause for aviation, then it couldn’t have come at a more convenient time for the company.
