That would require new equipment, new equipment requires training, training costs the airlines money.

There's a reason the 737 has been flying since the 1950s. Making a new plane means it would costs the airlines the same amount of money in training to buy a plane from another manufacturer. By continuing to use the same equipment, Boeing has an advantage over the competition, no matter how many people die because of it.
