Lion Air ponders cancelling Boeing jets in row over crash
Co-founder Rusdi Kirana is furious over what he regards as attempts by Boeing to deflect attention from recent design changes and blame Lion Air for the crash, while the airline faces scrutiny over its maintenance and flight crew actions. (www.reuters.com) More...

The APA have taken Boeing to task for failing to mention the changes. Airlines contacted in the US reported receiving no information relevant to this problem. Another safety feature killing people.
There are 80 operators of the 737 MAX and, unless I have missed it, none have had the problems that LION Air has had.
With Indonesia's air safety record in general and LIOIN Air's record in particular it does not take too much imagination to see where the probable fault lies.
If I were LION Air I would quietly co-operate with Boeing and take "one hell of a lot of" advise from people who know how to run an airline safely.

When both sides in a dispute, and a real HUGE one with billions of dollars at stake in new potential orders and lawsuits from families of the passengers who died, and both parties having very strong arguments, the outcome is going to take years to settle.
Yes, and as usual, the only winners will be the lawyers. Clearly there is a degree of fault / blame with both Boeing and Lion Air. Both companies are trying to position themselves as having less blame than the other. As you say, it will take years.
is airbus going to bump some customers so to give Lion Air a few hundred airliners?, or is LioN Air going out into the used airliner market? Boeing is surely not blameless here in the question of clarity over the flight systems of these airplanes, but walking away from orders will not solve the question of where and how soon replacements will appear
I guess you don't pay attention to any REAL news. Boeing told NOBODY about that system, not Lion Air, not Southwest, not UAL - it WAS A SECRET that was not contained in ANY flight or training manuals.
It has come under fire from U.S. pilots for NOT MENTIONING the MCAS system - a modification of existing anti-stall systems - in the manual for the 737 MAX, which began service last year.
Learn some FACTS before you start blaming INNOCENT PEOPLE instead of placing the blame on THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE that knew that system existed.
