This is probably the best fix, therefore it will never happen. I’ve read that the shitty engineering culture of McDonnell is why Boeing’s quality has progressively declined since the merger.

For context, wikipedia says that
In 2021, Boeing recorded $62.3 billion in sales.
If Boeing can’t be held accountable because they also make weapons then perhaps the civilian aircraft manufacturing part of the business needs to be split off into a separate one.

Corruption is like cancer. Without criminal convictions, and fines many times greater than the sum of the profits, the corruption will grow deeper and deeper until the host dies.
The ONLY fix is life in prison — ~600 counts of manslaughter — for every individual complicit in the fraud, starting from the top.

Revenue isn’t profit. It’s possible to have $62.5B in sales and be operating at a loss.

For additional context, if i was complicit in killing over 300 people, I would go to jail instead of being fined a month’s wages.
