Oh yeah, swap them for the 737Max which is a 50+/- year old design with patchwork “upgrades” so unreliable that no pilot input is necessary for them to fly into the ground.
Boeing use their bought and paid for Congress critters to force the FAA to bend to their will.
So let’s let the fox guard the henhouse by having Boeing engineers act as FAA “inspectors”... Nah, no conflict of interest there.
Boeing was once a great company that designed incredibly strong, long lasting and safe aircraft. But that company DIED when they merged with McDonnell Douglas.
We don't know yet what the problem was in this crash, but in the unlikely event it was an aircraft/engine design problem, the Pakistani's might want to consider replacing their orders for new Airbuses with a Boeing equivalent.
As for the 737-Max, it did have problems in the hands of unqualified pilots, and so is not for sale now until, apparently, Boeing can figure out how to make it 100% idiot-proof.

Sooo… you're telling us there's politics going on in Washington, DC?
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Now you're telling us that competition makes manufacturers better than having all the monopoly power they want?
Well, I certainly agree in theory, whether that happened in this particular case is for others to say, I don't know.
But President Trump likes Boeing, and he flies a lot more than I do, so I'll take his word for it, over yours, FRiend.
