Do you think it is better to buy a plane that potentially going to be grounded than wait?

I'm not saying I support how the 737 MAX program was executed but at least you have a plane that is potentially flying versus not having one at all.

Yes, because you get revenue from a plane that is "potentially" going to be grounded, and you don't get anything from sitting around.

and the manufacturer can be held liable for lost revenue so even if the AC is grounded, you can get some $$$

Makes sense!
