United Air Drops Largest 737 Max From Plan After Boeing Missteps
United Airlines Holdings Inc. is no longer counting on Boeing Co.’s largest 737 Max model as the planemaker’s manufacturing miscues threaten to further delay an aircraft already years behind schedule.

I can't think of a more troubled aircraft program since the DC-10. Boeing needs to eject all senior executives that had anything to do with the MAX program and start with an entirely new team. The CEO needs to go too. When you're captain of the ship, you go down with the ship. They then need to go from top to bottom through the program and root out any and all problems.
They also have to consider that the certification for the -10 may be pushed back further now because of the increased scrutiny caused by the -9 incident. How long can a company wait for airframes that it desperately needs with no end in sight.
