It's a cliche thing to say, but if it was a known issue and management papered over it - as the alternative is incompetent engineering instead of just cost-center-managed engineering - someone should go jail?
- j-bos 3y agoDid anyone go to jail for the previous Boeing MAX crashes?
- 0xffff2 3y agoAt this point there's a pretty clear implication that if some Boeing people had gone to jail that time maybe this wouldn't have happened at all.
- jerkstate 3y agonot only did nobody go to jail, they didn't even fix the problem: https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Airline-News/Omnibus-bill-Boeing-737-Max-certification https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Airline-News/Omnibu...
- fulladder 3y agoNah. When you have an engineering culture problem, putting people in jail is not going to solve anything. It will scare employees, sure, but it won't fix your culture. I believe someone at Boeing actually was criminally prosecuted in connection with the earlier MAX 8 problems, but, as in all these situations, it is seriously unlikely that that fixed any actual problems. Most likely, somebody felt they needed a neck to wring and found a convenient scapegoat.
