Did Boeing Build Too Many 737 MAX Aircraft?
With hundreds of aircraft parked around Boeing’s facilities and airlines not in a hurry to take new planes, you have to wonder whether Boeing already built too many MAX jets. (simpleflying.com) さらに...

You can't really blame Boeing for doing that. They had to suspend deliveries while they were trying to resolve the problems that contributed to the two crashes, and it seemed possible that they would be software-only fixes that could be applied after the airframes had been completed.
What happened next with COVID-19 could not have been predicted by anyone, and unfortunately thing went from really bad to even worse. There are going to be some very lean years ahead for Boeing and the entire aviation sector in general.

Has more to do with commitments than anything else. Problems were being resolved but think that one day truth why they were kept grounded will come full circle and find there was a player in the wings which benefited from there grounding.
Who do you think that mysterious player might be?
They wanted the 'back pressure' to help make their case to regulators that they needed to hurry up and approve the MAX for flight as soon as possible. 'But we have so many planes! We HAVE to have you give us toe OKAY! YOU JUST HAVE TO! *STOMP* *STOMP*'
I've said it before, but I believe that many of the Max's built but not delivered will never be accepted by the original airline. They will require repainting and new interiors to match their new owner's design.
Don't be surprised if it takes a year before all the built aircraft actually get sold. Not unlike the way some car companies still have 2018s on the dealer lots.
Makes me question the prudence of restarting the production line.

It almost seemed that they C-Levels figured they issues would be resolved quickly and easily even though as the grounding wore on that was not the case, but they just kept building them.
