Boeing's 2020 MAX cancellations near 400 in July
Boeing Co lost another 43 orders for its grounded 737 MAX planes in July, bringing the total cancellations for the jet this year to 398, while delivering only four of its other aircraft to customers, monthly numbers showed on Tuesday.

Sadly and predictably, Boeing lost its way by letting its arrogant entitlement mindset block out realistic professionalism and honest self-assessment. They obtusely keep "recycling" or "refurbishing" the same product and verbal context, in the hope that somehow or sometime the FAA will magically get an "epiphany" and come around with a change of mind or a loophole to save them from themselves.

I still don't trust Airbus aircraft after AF447, and frankly I think the grounding of the 737 MAX was an overreaction on China's part. (They were the first country to ground the plane.)
The effects of COVID on air travel are providing Boeing a golden opportunity to work on a clean sheet, contemporary design for a 737 replacement which could be available just as air travel recovers to pre-COVID levels. Instead, it appears they're still sitting with their thumbs up their ***es looking for approval and handouts from Mommy.
