    I’ll believe corporations are people the moment Texas executes one.

  Guilty as fuck, yet get away with a 1.1 billion fine and self-elected compliance officer. What a joke.

  Can anyone tell us how this should play out? I’m not familiar with corporate liability, especially criminal liability. For one, exactly which humans are accountable when there’s an element of Swiss Cheese Security involved.

  What does it look like to hold such a monster firm accountable? I honestly have no idea. We know the top dogs won’t get hit, monster fines will only impact lower level workers. Does my ex-gf who does technical drawings for Boeing deserve to lose her job?

  The Justice Department has said a jury trial risks sparing Boeing from further punishment.

  One of those statements that sounds reasonable until it requires explanation. Anyone know what they’re talking about?

    The company made decisions to save money, which ultimatively killed people. Several times.

    They should be held accountable for their crimes like anyone else.

    Yeah it sounds good to punish someone for suffering caused, but there’s so many cogs involved in this machine, which one deserves to be pulled out and spanked? 😫😩

    How? The passengers can’t just go and buy Airbus.

      No but they can buy tickets to Airbuses. Low price carrier where I’m at has both. When booking I simply ask for an Airbus flight and decline any offer of hopping aboard a Boeing.

      If nothing is available I’ll either wait for a later flight, not go at all or book a regular priced flight at a competitor offering Airbus.

      Only exception is in emergencies.

      They can pressure their airlines and governments to buy Airbus instead.

  The 346 souls lost were yellow, brown and black non-Americans so what seems to be the problem?

    That was a McDonnell Douglas plane, and now both feeds and ups have grounded their entire fleet of them.
