I stated that you were spreading lies. Much of what you post on this subject has absolutely no basis in fact. That to me is a lie. Besides, you make statements and you hardly, if ever, back up from quoted sources. Therefore how do we know these are not merely your optimistic opinions not based on fact? At least I almost always print the link/s from which I obtain my information.
I am not going to continue a dialogue with someone whose flights of fancy, frankly, bear little basis in reality. I am not the only poster to point out your errors of fact. The actual facts are -
Fact: The Chairman/CEO of Boeing said just a few days ago he expects the 737 Max to be back in service but the end of the year.
Muilenburg said last week on CNBC that he expected that the Max would be back in the air by year-end.

Fact: The FAA agrees with Muhlenberg's comments re a return by year end.
Ali Bahrami, the Federal Aviation Administration’s associate administrator for aviation safety, said in an interview Wednesday at a conference in Cologne, Germany [June 11] the Max will be returned to service “when we believe it will be safe,” following reviews of the design, flight testing and other checks. Bahrami was reluctant to provide a timeline, but asked whether the plane would resume service this year or next, he said remarks by Boeing Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg projecting a return by the end of 2019 sounded correct.

We know airlines operating the 737 Max want their planes up in the air as quickly as possible. We also know from American Airlines - as earlier stated in this thread - that their pilots will now be provided with a full 45 days of training, including extensive simulator training, prior to taking over commercial flights. Boeing, lets recall, had earlier told all its customers that the pilots would definitely require no simulator training. So work back from the end of the year, allow a generous margin, and you can see that neither Boeing nor the FAA seem to expect full certification any time before September - probably the end of September.
You stated you expect ceritification within 2 or 3 weeks. Where did you get that information? And why does it fly in the face of what both Boeing and the FAA have publicly stated? Please also provide your source material.
As for the grounding affecting US defences, that is just plain stupid!
aviation analyst Eddie Miceli expressed doubts that the ongoing scandal over the 737 Max crash would affect Boeing's leading position as a major US defence contractor: "It is a complete different branch of aviation, and any concerns or flaws have always been addressed and corrected internally and without disclosing them to the general public".

If you wish to continue this dialogue, I suggest you follow your own guidelines stated earlier in this thread.
