Yes, they don't have another design to compete with the A320 on this specific sector.I hope for them they do their account well, cause with the numbers of airlines who bought the MAX that can't fly it, while the production line still running, plus the possible law suite to come, it could cost in the end very much more than what they are still trying to spend on software corrections… and changing names.And even if these software corrections are finally approved by the FAA , and the Euros and Asians certifications bodies (and now they will look very carefully …), it could still be temporary before they finally have to change the plane design to address that pitch up behavior.And that is, maybe changing the tailplane --> lot of testing --> new certification --> new type rating for all pilots --> a lot of money.
