well your first mistake was thinking Boeing was a respectable corporation (that ship sailed in 1997 when they dropped the "engineering first" priority in lieu of "business first")...

your second mistake is thinking any corporation is respectable ;-)

Their third mistake is thinking any corporation will be held accountable

Oh, you got caught doing some shitty business thing and now you're not making as much money. Here is a government bailout to make it up.

Or they got caught doing a shitty business thing fucking people over and get fined a fraction of what it made them.

lol you're right.

In other news, if you search for flights on kayak and exclude Boeing planes, holy crap the tickets are insanely expensive.

Turns out people pay extra money to avoid death, who knew.

next stops: buy Kayak and shut it down; Make it illegal for similar searches to be performed; make it illegal to disclose who makes the aircraft.

Unless citizens make it clear that they won't stand for bullshit, they will get bullshit.

Scary thing nobodies talking about is: if these Boeing-built bad parts are able to slip past inspectors, which we had (naievely?) assumed were given full access top-notch, and neutral, might the standards of other planes build-quality have also dropped?

How safe are the other company's planes?
