Charges dropped against Boeing in 737-MAX crashes
This is bad news! Not only was Boeing likely guilty of the charges, they were also charges against Boeing for not following ANOTHER previous ruling which let Boeing off the hook easy. This is like violating an early conditional release from prison.
Boeing was 100% responsible, in my opinion, for deceiving regulatory authorities in the 737 inspection process, and as a direct result of their own DEI policies and substandard and shoddy QA practices along with unproven, untrained, technology...346 people lost their lives (died) in two separate crashes. And, even after all that, the practices continued which led to several other in flight incidents with their aircraft.
This is a perfect example of big business being able to successfully lobby government officials into letting them off easy. It is NOT okay, and it is WRONG!
Very disappointed in this development!
Edit - Plus, the 737-MAX exists for one reason, and one reason only...to extract the absolute most possible money out of the traveling public as humanly possible. It is a real-world example of stuffing 10 lbs. of shit into a 5 lb. bag! Everything about the 737-MAX is intended to maximize profits while pushing passenger tolerance to the absolute limits. I don't know why they put any seats at all in that damn thing! Why not just have everyone pack in there as tight as they can get them and then shove the doors shut? Be about the same thing.

Absolutely mate , with over 170,000 employees Worldwide and carrying $53 Billion in debt it seems they're too big to fail.
Public safety plays second fiddle to the survival of government contractors.

I would say getting to do your own compliance inspections because the federal government is too incompetent to do it themselves is a pretty damn good deal (just in general). One would think this would be in the forefront of any company's mind when they contemplate doing stupid shit. (stupid shit like MCAS with no simulator training, skipped or inadequate QA inspections and a whole laundry list of other stuff).
It was pretty obvious what was going to happen to Boeing when they moved all their Boeing headquarters out of Renton, Everett and Seattle to Chicago in 2001 and then again to Arlington, Virginia in 2022. Each step along the way getting closer to "sugar daddy" in DC. The company's priorities changed with each one of those moves. The focus was less on safety and quality, and more on profits, and then virtually all on profits.
