> Boeing and the airlines should have provided more simulators if their new model is so different that it needs a dedicated simulator

I highly recommend reading this article:

https://onemileatatime.com/boeing-737-max-lion-air-simulator...

The first crash was with Lion Air. Boeing mocked them for wanting simulators. After the crash, Boeing claimed pilots of Lion Air were at fault. This while saying no simulator training was needed.

>Boeing mocked them for wanting simulators.

These were the conversations of two employees. I wouldn't say that Boeing outright mocked them but, in the processes going on above the employees paygrade, simulators were difficult to get to Lion Air

You think because the employees weren't executives and they were talking to eachother it's all ok? What on earth are you talking about?

Boeing employees should be in prison, there shouldn't be bail while awaiting trial. This is a act of willful negligence and deceit and coverup that killed hundreds of people. It's one of the biggest crimes ever in the history of our country.

They're a defense contractor, they can't commit crimes.

Ultimately the biggest mockery of the Lion Air request was Boeing's refusal of it.

Lion Air asked, Boeing declined. Of course some person at Lion Air asked and some person at Boeing declined. That doesn't make a difference. These persons where talking for Boeing.
