Exactly right. You get what you pay for.

While I wholeheartedly agree that people are abusing the system and that rules need to be enforced and when you do prepare to get sued in murica for doing so; all that said, I'd rather be on a planeload of dogs than most people on board. Jus' sayin'.

It means "White Elephant". Always was.

Yes, it was just one window. The rest were unaffected by the thermal problem that one had. No need to be concerned. Until, sometime in it's life, prior to a D check, something happens with some other window. Then 20/20 hindsight will kick in "We should've done this...or that". "It was an oversight." "We could have never foreseen this happening>" Yadda yadda yadda.

Boeing needs to clean house at the top. Then it needs to move headquarters back to Seattle. Then it needs to bring everything back to northwest Washington. Everything. Boeing used to be the best until they started farming everything out for political gain and cost cutting. Glad they made their bigly bucks. Too bad it was on the backs of so many people...some living... and too many dead.

The very people that pressure stock exchange listed companies to make a profit every quarter so they can get their nickel-a-share dividend are now suing! That's pretty good. I'm not saying that's the whole cause of the Boeing disaster, but, Boeing, like all the rest that answer only to {it seems} their vaunted shareholders faces a lot of flack from unqualified morons if those morons don't get their nickel. And that will lead to shortcuts and so profits go ahead of the safest way to do things. One more unbroken link in the chain leading up to disaster.

Paying for a crashed MAX would be more.
