The whole VW/Audi dieselgate thing took out a couple execs, but not the main ones. This may be the same.



On the one hand, Germany doesn’t extradite its citizens, so there are practical issues, not to mention diplomatic with going after top execs.

On the other hand, Boeing is “national security” so there will be political pressure to not fuck with it too much.


Or alternatively, there will be immense pressure to do so, to ensure that national security deliverables are not impacted by such gross negligence.


We're a bit late for that.

But to some extent it only proves the point. Boeing has been fucking up so badly for so long that the Feds won't give them anything that isn't a fixed price contract.


The main execs still stand trial in Germany so.
