The execs at Boeing probably felt the A320 was a gun to their head. The A320 was set to eat their lunch, and they made a decision that ultimately has resulted in 300+ deaths. Was it a malicious decision? I give them enough credit to say that they honestly believed they solved the problem with MCAS. Was it a malicious decision to lie about pilots not needing to re-train? I'm leaning towards yes.
