Living next to a big Airbus site in Eueope I agree, Boeing being weak on safety is bad for Airbus as well. It is time to realize that the practises of a certain type of business manegerial class are extremely damaging to wide parts of what makes our society function. The good times for US manufacturing where times where engineers still ran businesses to some degree. Nowadays it seems that you get managment that comes in and treats a major airplane manufacturer the same as a grocery chain, a fastfood franchise or any other type of business. That means: trying to cut corners, removing all the cladding, externalizing all the costs for a short term win and make sure to be gone once that hidden debt comes due. This is not sustainable, but it generates a lot of money for those people. I am all for holding such types accountable after the fact. You removed X against the advice of your engineers and it lead to catastrophic failure? Jail.
