Is this really an issue adding to Boeing's woes, or just a normal every day thing that happens with airliner manufacturing and the only reason we are hearing anything about it is Boeings 777 Max crashes?
Based on the description of the problem: 60 planes are un-grounded so they must be grounded until they are grounded. Once they are grounded, they will be clear to fly.
Nope. For Boeing to re-build all the engineering skills they have lost would take several decades. Cannot be done. They will die slowly like any giant, but die they will.
Stop trying to pump. You made a bad investment, face it and cut your losses.
Simple: They got rid of all good engineers and all good engineering managers. For a while that works because well designed airplanes are highly redundant. While it works, it gives you great profits, but over time, the remaining redundancies get smaller and smaller and eventually you end up killing tons of people. Just like has already happened.
In essence, they do not know how to do it anymore and they cannot recover from that.

Guys we want the electronics to be well-grounded, not the airplane.

How did they mess up this badly?
