> The Justice Department’s investigation of what it called the “737 max Fraud Conspiracy” resulted only in one deferred prosecution (a kind of corporate plea deal). An unnamed pilot suggests a different title to Mr Robison: “Boeing got away with it”
I wonder if they really got away with it - will the public think twice about Boeing's competence when booking flights or airlines when purchasing planes. If they had been taken to court, paid a massive fine, procedures/structure changed and a few heads publicly rolled - would the 'new Boeing' be in a better position for the future?
- sokoloff 5y ago> will the public think twice about Boeing's competence when booking flights No. Make it $5 cheaper and the public will buy it. (That’s how “unbundling” became so effective and why you get nickel and dimed by a lot of carriers now: so they can compete on headline price on online travel aggregators.) > or airlines when purchasing planes. Unless the previous is “definitely yes!”, this one is also no.
