Well, given that other models exist that accomplish the same job (albeit perhaps not from Boeing), it's going to be a steep climb to get European authorities to agree to certify it, I expect.

So, the correct comparison would not be to driving, but to flying in other planes with similar range that are already available. I am no expert, but I do not get the impression that it is looking good in this respect.

No doubt.

Yes, but the correct comparison is the recertified Max, without MCAS, and with re-trained pilots. That is the alternative to scrapping the fleet.
