Here’s hoping they pay for their cost-cutting crimes (yeah I know it’s not a crime per se but the efforts are putting people at undue risk, allegedly). And that it’s followed up by a civil case. And that the criminal case causes the board and management to change and the civil case somehow makes workers and victims whole.

> civil case somehow makes workers and victims whole If they’re found criminally liable, the most likely outcome is bankruptcy. Victims (airlines) would have a claim. Workers, their unpaid wages. Whatever comes out of bankruptcy will likely need some public support; even then, it’s hard to imagine we don’t see layoffs.

  Where do you get “the most likely outcome is bankruptcy” and not say, a $5b fine and something akin to a consent decree? Totally exaggerating the likely consequences.

    $5b fine paid by taxpayers through the next air force contract they get with no competition.

      Anyone know if the DoD is upset at Boeing for their lack of QA? Does their shit QA also apply to military assets?
