It probably impacted already. The Boeing NMA is basically nowhere to be seen, the 777X deadlines are slowly being broken, and that should be the future of Boeing. For now, Boeing is dealing with the past, basically, corpses falling out of the closet. Not to mention the 787 engine issues.

It increasingly seems like NMA won’t happen before a 737 replacement. 777X is going to be under a lot of scrutiny post-MAX and I would not be shocked if regulators find issues that Boeing overlooked before the plane is certified.

True. Basically Airbus will have time to roll out their own purebred NMA competitor by then, although they have the A321.
