Boeing legal strategy is to maintain litigation for as long as humanly possible to block, wear down, bankrupt and otherwise break upstart competition. In this case it seems they outright stole as well.

Boeing had best be careful with its illegal activities, lest it get fined up to a double-digit percentage of the profits it makes from them.

Did you forget a /s tag? I feel like the penalties are so small for the big companies that they just become small expense lines that need to be passed on to the consumers (airlines in this case).

Not everyone subscribes to this silly /s tag trend which defeats the intended purpose of sarcasm.

Right? Sarcasm is so easy to detect using only text with no additional signifiers.

Wait.

Was that sarcastic?

Who could say. /s is just the same as using a sarcastic vocal tone, eye roll, or hand gesture. Surely you aren't against those?

/s is about as subtle as just saying "jk". It's a big old wink.

Challenge yourselves to write something that 5-10% of people wouldn't spot as sarcasm. I'm sure you can manage that!

Other people can do whatever they want, I'm not against anything. And I'm well familiar with Poe's law.

Now try not being against how I like to communicate on the internet, or OP, and everyone's happy.

Don't forget cutting corners in manufacturing and murdering whistle-blowers.

pretty sure this is every big company with a large war chest and a legal department.
