Boeing agrees to plead guilty to defrauding the FAA but escapes punishment sought by victims’ families

Does that surprise anyone?? The BIG BOYS walk away scott free. That is why they have all of the high priced ambulance chasers on their payroll.

Boeing will pay up to $487 million in fines — a fraction of the $24.8 billion that families of crash victims wanted the aircraft maker to pay. The families of victims of two fatal crashes of the 737 Max oppose the deal, the department said.

The guilty plea is a severe blow to the reputation of Boeing, a company once known for the quality and safety of its commercial jets. Beyond the fatal crashes of the 737 Max jets, the company has faced a series of questions about the safety and quality of its planes. In January, a door plug on a 737 Max flown by Alaska Air blew out early in a flight, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the jet, and further damaging Boeing’s reputation.

Years back, big business was known for their quality of product, honesty, and integrity. That is all a thing of the past. Now, it is all about making the $tockholder$ happy, throwing safety, and their cockpit doors to the wind.

The little guy does not stand a chance. We are all nothing but gum on the bottom of their shoes.

The old saying that flying is the safest mode of travel, I am beginning to wonder how true that is.
