The funny thing is, I'm not sure if new orders even matter. Their equivalent for the 737max, the A320Neo, is ridiculously overbooked. In september they pushed out 40 A320Neo aircraft to customers. Now I'm not sure if that is an average month or not, but if that is indeed the average (though I know they are looking at increasing it) then the backlog is over a decade long without a single new order. Not sure if that number includes the 100 planes Spirit ordered earlier this week. :p
I do agree with you guys about Boeing's price. It never came down to a reasonable level, even with all of the mistakes. It's not only the MCAS issues, it's the poor management of those issues, the recent issues with the FAA, the issues with parts of the plane (I think it was a different version of the 737) having some cracks etc.
