Yesterday Boeing announced a $2.4 Billion loss in the last quarter - adding to the billions they'd already lost last year. Many thousand Boeing employees have already been laid off in the Puget Sound area, with thousands more to come (not to mention the many thousands of employees at the Boeing suppliers that have been let go in the last 12 months). Right now, regardless of the mistakes that were made during the MAX development, Boeing is trying to do what it has to do to simply survive until air traffic recovers.
Yes, it sucks for the people in Dublin, but I doubt the thousands who have lost their job in the Puget Sound will have much sympathy.
