How many think a bunch of Saudis actually flew those jets in a tight turn directly into the towers ...

So you are saying it's still management. I believe it.

Fraud leading to 346 deaths and no manslaughter charge? Forkner knew management wanted no additional training. Boeing's law firm then hired the prosecutor; as a partner no less. Boeing had an outstanding and reputable law firm in Seattle before they moved HQ to Chicago. No need to guess why the move happened.

That plane flew directly over my house last night. I thought "that's not a normal flight pattern" and figured is was a Paine Field test flight. Thanks to Boeing engineers and management for your efforts ... we know you are trying ... and given enough time you'll eventually get all the bugs out.

China owns us. We gave them our best tech in the early nineties for access to a billion customers for LazerJet printers. I was there and watched it, I complained the equipment we 'loaned' to China contained prohibited tech. They returned 2 of the 4 boxes. They built the Silkworm using Hewlett-Packard DSP chips.

“Current plans show delivery of a fully mission-capable KC-46 by fiscal 2024,” 13 years after the contract was gifted to the same out that killed 346 and then hired the prosecutor as a partner in their law firm. Meanwhile full steam ahead for exec bonuses.

Since the article is about Boeing killing 346 people, I am not surprised it didn't mention Airbus. Boeing hired the prosecutor looking at the case and still paid out bonuses to execs.

Boeing has delivered 46 planes since 2019 - "46 planes currently flying are hobbled by a defective fuel delivery system and other glitches, and will not be fully operational until 2023." Like their not fully operational fuel valves on Starliner. 'Not Fully Operational' is Boeing's wheelhouse.

Boeing could not have foreseen another design flaw. Keeping Execs out of jail for 346 murders has helped but obviously not enough. Perhaps larger bonuses would clarify their vision.

You are correct. I had a front row seat at the tech-for-market-share giveaway at Hewlett-Packard. I bitched to upper management but they literally laughed it off.
