- c0balt 1y agoIf I read this correctly they plead guilty at the end of bidens presidency but the plea deal was rejected by a judge. Reasoning being the the DOJ was being accused of potentially making a choice for a person to monitor the pea deal terms based on DEI instead of competency. Adminstaration changed, and with the DOJ of the current administration in place they instead got out of it with a settlement instead of a felony?

It also includes $444.5 million for a new fund for crash victims, and $445 million more on compliance, safety and quality programs." That amounts to 1.28M per human life. Also, most of the victims were conveniently Africans and South Asians. I hope airlines on those other continents avoid Boeing like the plague.
