US wants Boeing to plead guilty to fraud over fatal crashes

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This is bigger than Boeing. There's a corporate culture in the US that caters more to shareholders than their customers and employees. Boeing issues aside, the customer service of US airliners has been trash for years and our politicians are in their pockets.

The U.S. Justice Department is pushing Boeing to plead guilty to criminal fraud in connection with two deadly plane crashes involving its 737 Max jetliners, according to several people who heard federal prosecutors detail a proposed offer Sunday.

Boeing will have until the end of the coming week to accept or reject the offer, which includes the giant aerospace company agreeing to an independent monitor who would oversee its compliance with anti-fraud laws, they said.

The case stems from the department’s determination that Boeing violated an agreement that was intended to resolve a 2021 charge of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government. Prosecutors alleged at the time that Boeing misled regulators who approved the 737 Max and set pilot-training requirements to fly the plane. The company blamed two relatively low-level employees for the fraud.

I can't tell if you want them to plead guilty or not. Do you believe they're guilty of what they're accused of?

They probably shouldn't be using counterfeit titanium in their jet fuselages, wings, cargo doors and the pylons connecting engines to the wings.

It's terrifying their lack of a safety culture. If this only affected poor or working class Americans the U.S. govt. would not be interested in what Boeing does. The U.S. govt. can exert considerable pressure and influence on Boeing because of all their federal contracts.

And on top of all of this Boeing has admitted that it HAS retaliated against its whistleblowers, despite any previous denials to the contrary.

I no longer know what to think about any of this.
