Since the article is about Boeing killing 346 people, I am not surprised it didn't mention Airbus. Boeing hired the prosecutor looking at the case and still paid out bonuses to execs.

Boeing has delivered 46 planes since 2019 - "46 planes currently flying are hobbled by a defective fuel delivery system and other glitches, and will not be fully operational until 2023." Like their not fully operational fuel valves on Starliner. 'Not Fully Operational' is Boeing's wheelhouse.

Boeing could not have foreseen another design flaw. Keeping Execs out of jail for 346 murders has helped but obviously not enough. Perhaps larger bonuses would clarify their vision.

You are correct. I had a front row seat at the tech-for-market-share giveaway at Hewlett-Packard. I bitched to upper management but they literally laughed it off.

In the early 90s, Hewlett-Packard "loaned" the Chinese 4 model HP35665A dynamic signal analyzers with cutting edge custom microprocessors and the best curve-fitting algorithm available. China gave 2 back. We gave them source code and methods to develop the equipment, even how to build workbenches to produce equipment. All for the right to sell HP laser-jet printers in China. The wave-skimming Silkworm anti-ship missile came out 2-3 years later - courtesy Hewlett-Packard technology and the nice folks at Lake Stevens Instrument Division (RIP LSID) in WA state. HP demolished 250,000 sq ft manufacturing facility <10 yrs later.

Boeing deserves every bit of bashing for their greed. They killed 346 people rather than update training manuals. And no one is facing jail time. Boeing is just too toxic.

To answer your question: Boeing killed 346 people to save some money. It will always be about Boeing because they build the planes for profit. Boeing is no one's friend anymore, funny how greed does that.

Alaska is betting on Boeing while Boeing bails out of Everett after receiving shrouded, massive, tax breaks and 2 decades of the state building colleges to train aviation work force. Thanks but, if it's Boeing I'm not going.

You sound like a Trump economist. Take it as a compliment, too.

Boeing execs know they can hide information that led to 346 dead and never spend one minute in lock-up. They know they will keep their stock payouts regardless. Why not sting the wealthiest criminals harder?
