Starliner is chronically behind schedule and overbudget. I would give them pretty long odds against being able to stay on schedule for that long.

‘Boeing’s first crewed Starliner space mission may launch as early as 2021’
Given that their first attempt could have killed the crew, that ‘may’ is doing some pretty heavy lifting.
Let’s see them put an empty capsule in space and get it back again without any major failures, then we can start thinking about when people can be put into this thing.
