Absolutely typical of a large company attitude. Throw money at unfortunate people and get them to sign as full settlement! "My lawyers are bigger and better than your lawyers!"
There's speculation in The Guardian (and in Wikipedia) that Ryanair's new maxes will be rebranded 737 8200. Link
Another good reason not to fly Ryanair
Boeing takes $5bn hit
Boeing is taking a $4.9bn hit to cover the costs of the grounding of its 737 Max aircraft after two deadly crashes.
The charge is set to wipe out profits when the world's biggest planemaker posts quarterly results next week.
In a statement, Boeing also said its "best estimate at this time" is that 737 Max will return to service in the last three months of this year...
