So even now Boeing will not include all safety features for all customers. Not that Airbus is doing better, but this indicates that Boeing is not concerned that it could face serious charges for continuing to sell planes with some safety features missing. That's interesting! Why are they so assured?

Corruption. After the Ethiopia crash, the CEO/Chairman was on the phone to Trump, to ask him not to ground the rest of the 737 MAXs. (He changed positions on that once it was clear Boeing wasn't going to be able to dodge culpability.) The board member responsible for the audits which should have demanded a fix for these issues has been re-elected. Even the dual CEO/Chairman role is a significant governance failure. https://beta.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/05/06/safety-was-just-given-inside-boeings-boardroom-amid-max-crisis https://beta.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/05/06/safety-w...

The USA have a long history of being very supportive of their companies ("regulation is evil!").
