The investigation is tied to an incident on an Alaska Airlines flight in early January. Boeing also told a Senate panel that it cannot find a record of the work done on the Alaska plane.

    How else will their stock price go up amidst all this controversy lol.

    Accountability should be held at the top. If they can benefit from cost cutting that can potentially kill people through negligence, they need to face criminal consequences for doing so.

      Not potentially.

      MCAS did kill several hundred people just a few years ago.

      A system Boeing put in place and snuck past regulators specifically to deploy a cheaply developed product that could compete with airbus.

      The executives at Boeing already have blood on their hands. They should have faced manslaughter charges for the 2 flights that went down due to MCAS.
