#2Wow, I'd be surprised if some young congressperson doesn't make their career by publicly eviscerating Boeing soon.

I hope you don't think it's going to be a US congresscritter.

I wonder how many serious problems Airbus have that we simply don't know about because they haven't been caught.

#6I always had great respect for aerospace and thought they'd put safety above all else but seeing all this, Boeing seems like a fucking travesty.

I'm thinking of a particular congresswoman that almost certainly isn't going to do it because she'd lose the vote of pretty much every blue collar worker that aspires to have a stable job somewhere like Boeing. It's not an obvious political win.
Edit: Ah, the good ol' "reality makes me unhappy so I'll shoot the messenger" down-votes. I don't know why I even comment in any of the Boeing threads anymore.

I feel like you are fantastically undervaluing the power of the Boeing lobby groups...

#9As I commented in previous articles here on HN, the chance that there are other subsystems that were rushed and self-approved by Boeing is not zero, people thinking that fixing the MCAS is enough are forgetting to consider that other components had to be updated for the new design.

Boeing as a whole might not be "evil", the same way VW as a whole is not "evil". So going after the whole of Boeing may not be the right thing.
At the same time, some high-up people in VW are paying for the emissions-cheating scandal, which arguably could endanger human beings and the environment.
When are people in Boeing going to pay for actually contributing to the deaths caused by this scandal?
