Nobody should accept this attempt to excuse Boeing of its responsibility and even less the possible variant of it "we are all guilty we will buy the cheapest flight."
- darkpuma 8y agoIt seems a bit unlikely to me that an airline like South West, that only flies 737s, would sooner buy Airbus planes than non-737 Boeing planes. I mean, stranger things have certainly happened, but it doesn't seem like the kind of existential threat that would force the hand of Boeing executives in such a way that takes blame away from them.
- thatoneuser 8y agoEven if there was an existential threat to Boeing the people making the decisions should have decided "we can't do this safely". They were never forced. Maybe they wouldn't get their million $ bonus - well tough titties. Plenty of people didn't get a 7 digit bonus this year.
