The reactions of Boeing (and potentially the FAA) deserve much more criticism than the actual mistakes which led to the crashes. Accidental mistakes/oversights are expected and can be forgiven. Thoughtful responses which seem to have attempted to put profit above moral standards cannot be forgiven. Many other thoughts... -People, including executives, seem to have a very hard time thinking big picture. Q4 2018 financial results seem so important only in the time period around Q4 2018. History doesn't care about Q4 2018. History will care about the crashes (especially the second, more preventable one which happened while Boeing was working on software fixes "to make a safe plane safer") -Overall, it is bizarre living through and watching these two crashes and the reactions to them in real time. I've often watched episodes of air crash investigation shows, the most interesting being series of crashes of the same aircraft models from decades ago (before I was in adulthood). -No doubt that Boeing will be viewed negatively in historical light. Their culpability was sealed with their reaction to Lion Air, and only further worsened with their reaction to Ethiopian. -I think the worst possible outcome for Boeing will be if it is determined that the MCAS issue is nonrecoverable even with the instructions that Boeing has repeated. Still curious... what made the FAA and Boeing switch sides on this issue? 1. Was there new information? (Satellite data, etc)? -or- 2. In the inevitability of a ban, is it just a better look to seem "proactive" than to go down kicking and screaming?
