Since the repair will be carried out by Boeing and GE personnel using spare parts of those companies so (with a small experience in the transport sector) these companies can influence the cost of the repair by (a) suitable pricing. I know there limits to how low you can invoice something but they know what prices to give to avoid a write off.
Regarding stock price I am not sure how much an impact of a write off would last.
