Boeing accepts plea deal to avoid a criminal trial over 737 Max crashes

Avoid Boeing planes !!!

Criminal US Boeing sucks...

Fly by Airbus..

Not the plane, still by far the most reliable plane, but you do need to get rid of DEI and affirmative action first and foremost.

Fly by Airbus..

They are also decent

Boeing has to inspect the oxygen masks on 2,000 planes.

Will be on a Boeing 737 this afternoon, but not a MAX.

I'm definitely not in a hurry to fly a 737-MAX or 787s anymore and will choose airlines that fly other models when there are options.

For long flights the Airbus A330 configuration of 2 seats X 4 seats X 2 seats is a much more comfortable trip than 3 X 4 X 3 anyway. You can get a window seat and only have to squeeze past one person to use the bathroom.

Difficult to prosecute people for software errors, so probably the best deal that is possible.

And nobody goes to jail? That isn't justice.

Where does DEI figure into Boeing's problems? All the bad decisions were made by white males? The whistle -blowers were white males too.

That isn't justice.

Justice is AWOL , from the start. Muilenburg was Chair AND CEO overseeing the MAX crashes, yet he gets a $62 millions send off.

Calhuon, on the other hand takes the rap, even though he's being 100% focussed on safety, and get fired for it????

It's abhorrent that all the UA issues in the media has been maintenance related, but UA can gang up to get Calhuon fired.

We’ll see you in a few years when they are back in court on the same charges

Boeing's CEO Calhoun’s total compensation in 2023 was $32.8 million. This that companies answer to all those poor relatives who lost loved ones in those crashes. He and his fellow board members are total s***.

US systemic corruption on show for all to see!

Muilenburg was CEO overseeing MAX crashes NOT Calhuon. Spirit Aero (responsible for Alaska door plug) was spun off from Boeing in 2005, long, long before Calhuon arrived on the scene. In fact Calhuon is trying to bring back Spirit into Boeing ownership.

That fine isn't enough. And the people who were in charge of putting profit before safety are still there. Nothing will change within Boeing.

Personally, I'll never fly on one again.

ONLY 500M fine! Any other foreign company would have been fined in the tens of billions here. Remember VW having to pay close to 40B USD in the US? Nepotism and protectionism at its best. Not-caring-about-non-american-lives-ism too!

fines are paid by customers. nothing comes out of the pockets of employees.

And nobody goes to jail? That isn't justice.

What the world has seen of America's dysfunctional "justice" system at work during the last 8 years where the suits on trial flanked by a de rigueur phalanx of lawyers all have get-outta-jail-free cards protruding from their bulging pockets, this sweetheart deal between government and corporation comes as no surprise to anyone who has concluded that it's the best "justice" system money can buy.

LOL, ROTFL, HAGAHAHAHA, compared to what, who, where, which planet?

We are witnessing total transparency, and it's only total transparency that we have arrived at this conclusion. Note, are you going to charge the FAA? They certified the MAX, training, operation....

You're on your high horse with a virtuous nosebleed over 2 hull losses that have been fully investigated and actions taken to satisfy authorities all over the world. Compare this to say Russia, or China's track record? Or even closer to home Indonesia hull loss ecery 18 months, or even closer Europe's ATR 72 having loss 40 hulls over decades AND no actions from designer or authorities.

LOL....
