Culture change takes a while; I feel like even if they replaced everyone at the top with safety minded engineers to run the company, it would be some time before they dig themselves out of the hole they created for themselves.
That’s not enough. We want investigations that bring consequences.
Just wanted to say your edit is awesome ✊
What we want, and what happens in reality, have absolutely no connection. Money is what makes the world go around. Money is the only thing that matters to our society.
When are we going to change that? It’s been a while, like 600BC, but we managed just fine for tens of thousands of years before minted coin.
Unfortunately, we aren’t.
No, it’s the only thing that matters to our current leadership. That can be changed. Either by changing their minds, or by removing and replacing them.
Lol, who chose Biden VS trump, the American people? Please.
Oh I’m not assuming the system isn’t owned by the rich. But the people in power can still be removed and replaced, even if the methods in place aren’t setup for it. The French are pretty good at it, for example.
Americans don’t have the balls Imo, the French are unique in their relationship to the owner class.
You definitely don’t appear to.
You know a lot about balls?
Lol
How many millions fat will his golden parachute be for sending hundreds of passengers to death?
15 million in stocks that vest in 3 years plus his 1.4 million in base salary plus plus his 22 million in stock, which has admittedly taken a beating as of late.
Nice payout for a complete failure on the job.
Are we all forgetting that Boeing most likely had a witness testifying them executed in a parking lot a few weeks ago?
You a word, there.
John Barnett didn’t kill himself and they’re doing a damn good job of sweeping it under the rug. It barely got mentioned in by any mainstream news outlets. Even Epstien got more media coverage than this.

Now, I am a fan of this in general. I think unions should get a seat at the table.
Not good enough, I want more than just a change of leadership. I want federal oversight at every Boeing Facility. I want the FAA to have a new office funded by Washington to scrutinize this company. I want Boeing Employees purged from the FAA.
Can’t wait to see his golden parachute
Funded by Washington who get the money from higher taxes on these fucks
When you have financial engineers overriding the decisions of mechanical engineers, you get crashy airplanes and eventually, caught up murdering people that might talk to investigators in order to defend those juicy profits
…sort of like how when accountants and insurance folk and lawyers and judges override the decisions of doctors and nurses, you end up with highly profitable hospitals and people dying for it
…all a bit like when the bean counters run your software company, layoffs designed to boost stock price by showing investors ‘fiscal discipline’ leaves your engineering teams shorthanded and forces them to de-prioritize bug fixes and dealing with technical debt and rigorous testing and you end up shipping lots of bugs when you release your product
Don’t blame accountants. They don’t make any decisions, and they don’t have the technical expertise to know what is dangerous.
The CEO is a good start. I bet the COO and head of engineering are also at fault. People signed off on these planes without doing the required installation of the door. If it’s a systemic issue, the quality control team is to blame.
Aviation is a regulated industry, right? I expect the FAA to get to the bottom, if not lawsuits.
So what about his seat on the board and what about the Director of the board, Bradway?
At the end of the day, it’s the board that’s signing off on the high level strategy. They need to be held accountable too. The CEO isn’t the top of the pyramid. The board is.
Thank you! Folks around here are always baggin’ on CEOs like they’re the top dogs. Nope. The Board often orders them to do stupid shit, and sometimes they’re brought on to do stupid shit. Hence the golden parachute thing. Damn straight I want paid if you fire me for doing what I was told.
Cool. Now arrest him for criminal negligence.
Don’t let the door hit you on the—oh shit, the door!
In
Soviet RussiaAmerica, the door hits you on it’s out.Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
No, not that door- the one from your shitty plane flying overhead.
“I’m gonna step down because I failed this clown car of a company…btw i’m keeping my golden parachute”
I’m just flabbergasted it took this long. It’s COMICALLY obvious that this is the result of a decades-long legacy of technical leadership failures and safety-incompatible profit fixation.
He should required to be up there to answer questions from congress and the Feds.
Don’t be silly. He’ll commit suicide with two shots to the back of the head before that happens.
Bring back the dude who married his first cousin!
Rudy Giuliani?
Just going to state the obvious here: Boards of directors of large public company should have a % of the board elected by company workers and another % appointed by elected politicians. The problem here is corporate boards entirely run by investors.
