I'm not comfortable with the situation because Boeing proved they had the ability and motivation to corrupt the system of approval and training - there has been very little response from pilots, airlines and the government addressing their actions and while this time it ended poorly there is nothing calling out the corner cutting and affixing a price to it that'll discourage similar corner cutting in the future.
If I've got a wicked sharp pairing knife and I cut my finger while peeling something with it then I'll be more careful, but chances are that as the pain fades I'll relax - maybe I'll always be careful with that particular knife but when I get a new pairing knife the memory will be detached.
Boeing needs more than the vague memory of bad PR and low profits for a quarter or two to learn this was unacceptable - and the American legal system is unable to apply a lesson, while the general business culture refuses to learn the lesson.
