A bunch of top table crooks who at a minimum should be charged with wilful manslaughter. Over 400 died as the cost of Boeing seeking greater profits. The plane was unsafe and the Boeing executives knew it.

Ask yourself, would I fly on a airplane that has crashed 2 times?

A step in the right direction; however the rot runs deep. Based on problems with 737, tanker replacement program, 787 and now the Starliner, the Boeing quality management is corrupted. It is going to take a lot of time and effort to change the culture in the company.
The New Yorker recently had an excellent piece on how the once engineer-driven culture at Boeing had been coerced into an MBA/accountant driven cookie cutter profit machine -- with engineers who stood up being humiliated or sacked.

The replacement David Calhoun is of a similar type, ex-bean counter from GE.
"plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose?" The more it changes, the more it's the same thing.
Cleaning out the rot in Boeing is a Herculean task, akin to his fifth task of cleaning out the Augean stables,

That it was taken down by software means that pilots are not what's keeping us safe in the air, that has been lost to managers and patch updates. Pretty scary.
That NASA bungle as well is not coincidental but pointing to genuine flaws in their entire corporate culture

The Boeing CEO will receive tens of millions of dollars in severance pay (America) instead of a bullet in the head (China).

When companies and operators and gov' of that country do not value lives, this is their level , not surprised. Low, greedy and selfish, that's normally the sign of a bod value company.
