The Boeing situation is definitely the case of the Companies exercises their strength and Airbus probably lobbied for the grounding in Europe in particular while not having the influence in the US. I, for one, will not get on one of these planes for a good amount of time.

Common sense prevails and the planes are grounded. Opens up some interesting options trades on Boeing (BA) with implied volatility spiking.
I have started analysing Call Spread Risk Reversals over different expiries.
One has to believe that Boeing will resolve the problems - it will take some time as Ethiopia Airlines has sent flight data recorders for France for analysis - into the Airbus heartland. Weird that.
Timing is key. Earnings are in April - so smart to look at may expiries. I will write something up later today.
