From that article: "leading the manufacturer to suspect and insist that the pilot had responded incorrectly" After a few years of course it was concluded that it wasn't the pilots fault. I find it appalling that Boeing is always and every time trying its damndest to blame the crew, even before the investigation has concluded. This is a pattern, and imho should be penalized by law. Its disgusting to blame people who are dead and cannot defend themselves against the allegations, when there's no conclusive evidence. I wonder if they apologize to the crews family when they do that and are later found out the be in the wrong. I suspect they couldn't care less though.

Yes, their reaction to crashes are terrible. Just look at what happened to Lauda Air Flight 004 that came up in a thread about this yesterday: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauda_Air_Flight_004#Investigation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauda_Air_Flight_004#Investiga... "Lauda attempted the flight in the simulator 15 times, and in every instance he was unable to recover. He asked Boeing to issue a statement, but the legal department said it could not be issued because it would take three months to adjust the wording. Lauda asked for a press conference the following day, and told Boeing that if it was possible to recover, he would be willing to fly on a 767 with two pilots and have the thrust reverser deploy in air. Boeing told Lauda that it was not possible, so he asked Boeing to issue a statement saying that it would not be survivable, and Boeing issued it. Lauda then added, "this was the first time in eight months that it had been made clear that the manufacturer [Boeing] was at fault and not the operator of the aeroplane [or Pratt and Whitney]."[18]"
