I think in light of MCAS every company operating Boeing aircraft should have reviewed their stance on operating Boeing aircraft.

And the worst thing is I don't think even after mcas things have substantially improved there. I've seen more spin and damage control than actual safety focus. They could have launched a huge company program and management reorganization to really turn this mindset around.

I think the biggest issue that Boeing is too big to fail. They'll never fall because the government needs them for all their warplanes.

And what’s more, the FAA is currently moving away from DERs and to ODAs, which is the program that enables Boeing’s flavor of self- oversight
