I agree with the families; This deal is absurdly good for Boeing. Too good.

Compared to past fines, and their income; that fine is insultingly low. Low enough that it can be burried in an expense report and forgotten about.

Then there’s the ‘felony’ conviction that’s already planned to be hand waved away to allow Boeing to continue their various government/military contracts unimpeded…

I’m certainly not going to hold my breath hoping for meaningful results out of the court-appointed monitor. It’s easy enough to posture up while/where you know you’re being watched; then let it all fall back to shit as soon as you’re clear again.
