“I think this will now be the safest plane ever.
Ever.
It is just a shame it was (apparently) not 100% right to begin with.”
Umm, I doubt it. It’s my guess that the plane will be phased out, just sort of be allowed to disappear due to low demand. As I understand it the plane is fundamentally a flawed design that will not safely fly without its “fly by wire” software. Kinda like the stealth bomber aka flying wing which is impossible to fly without constant computer adjustments.
You think the airlines would cancel their orders for Boeing 737 Max 8, and if they do have them, return them to Boeing?
