That's not how corporate engineering works I'd wager that corporate engineering standards are supposed to be a lot more stringent when you're not manufacturing widgets, but objects like buildings, bridges, or commercial airliners. That they didn't go into introspection mode, being the only entity who could (and should) have known what the potential issue was after the LionAir crash, and didn't move hell and high water to get to the ground of it (and they very obvisously didn't) is pretty much inexcusable. That they're still smearing the pilots, puts them, in my book, into the scum of the earth category. There should be a special place in hell for Boeing's senior management. edit: clarification
