They neglected safety and lied to their customers and the public to gain competitive business advantage; they DESERVE to be years behind.

  >They neglected safety and lied to their customers and the public to gain competitive business advantage; they DESERVE to be years behind. No, they don't. They deserve for their executives and PEs to be behind bars, and for the company to go out of business. Let Airbus or the Chinese buy it and take it over. We've shown that we're completely unable to properly regulate companies like this where safety is so critical, so we need to let someone else take over that task. Foreign ownership of Boeing would put those regulators in charge, which would only be an improvement.

    Because China will regulate more effectively? The impression I've gotten from China is that regulation is often worked around

      >The impression I've gotten from China is that regulation is often worked around Sounds a lot like America these days... Worse, regulation is seen as bad here, and Trump has directed everyone under him to eliminate as much regulation as possible, and then some. Why would you trust regulation from a country that explicitly doesn't believe in regulating?

        I'm not saying I do, I'm just saying I don't trust China to either really
