I don't get the downvotes, the real world out there is still very much racist in many aspects and places, and lives are not treated as equal but depending on nationality, color and situation. Things are improving, but it will take a lot more time to actually arrive there, even if we consider only western democracies.
Back to the topic - I am not surprised by this kind of empty bullshit talks from CEO, what else to expect from massive PR team? Each word was carefully considered together with big team of lawyers too. For me the outcomes are clear:
- be very suspicious about anything coming from Boeing, their reputation is properly damaged (Airbus doesn't get a free pass, but their products didn't kill 300 people recently and they didn't try to shift blame everywhere else but themselves although things are crystal clear now)
- FAA lost any credibility, period. Globally no other national agency should trust its evaluations, since its obviously susceptible to external pressures and failed at its core mission, directly in the media spotlights, globally, just few weeks ago. Gaining back the trust would be a lengthy process of measurable changes that led to their failure to act, and monitoring the results of this for quite some time.
