Well it's a good thing they did stock buybacks instead of investing in basic safety and inspection practices. Seems to have really worked out well in the long term.

Or instead of investing in a redundancy or software failsafe for the angle-of-attack sensor that was problematic back in 2019.

Or investing in a plane design that was not lopsided due to being rushed out the door to compete with Airbus, necessitating the need for the MCAS system to begin with because they also didn’t want to invest in pilot retraining on how to fly a lopsided plane.

Nothing can be done! If we add a backup AOA sensor the cost of the plane will increase by 0,00001% tHiNk Of ThE ShArEhOlDeRs!!1!!
