Boeing paid $11.7 Billion dollars in stock buybacks in the two years preceding this fiasco

I didn't know that. What kind of development budget did the Max have? If they'd taken 10% of that to do $1B more safety related engineering during the project, might that have helped?

probably not. As the joke goes, how long will it take for you to finish the project? one year. How long will it take if we put 5 devs on it? two years. How about if we put 50 devs on it? It'll never be done.

That, except for money.
