The A320 is now nearly 40 years old. If Boeing started a clean sheet design in 10 years they could be selling the most amazing aircraft.
But the Max is just a disaster.
Disaster, yup MCAS associated crashes were disasters. That said, Boeing has a backlog of thousands of Max 737s, don’t lose sight of its popularity with the people who buy airplanes.
