I'm still not 100% convinced the commercial airliner part of Boeing is going to survive this, at least not in its current form. I can't be the only person seeing some reflections of the Comet in this.
The man in charge of clearing Boeing's 737 Max to fly again has said he will not do so until he has flown the plane himself.
Steve Dickson, head of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), would not set a timeframe for allowing the plane back in the air.
The aircraft has been grounded by regulators around the world since March 2019.
It was banned from flying after two separate crashes killed 346 people.
Mr Dickson said on Thursday that he would fly the plane with his wife and family members on board.
