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.

The time, costs, and resources that would be needed to go to trial would be tremendous.

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.

F.A.A. Investigating How Questionable Titanium Got Into Boeing and Airbus Jets

The material, which was purchased from a little-known Chinese company, was sold with falsified documents and used in parts that went into jets from both manufacturers.

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.

Boeing isn't alone on this issue. The FAA is equally complicit as well.
The major issue revolves around pilot training and in both cases it was third world pilots who usually have few flight and training hours than USA pilots. Unfortunately too many were trained on how the MCAS works and how to bypass or shut-off.

It's a shame that the DOJ has ruined their reputation-credibility. How can we believe anything they say at this point? Count me out. MAGA

China is creeping up in aerospace agendas. They will be in the passenger aircraft business before long. Newer defense companies are needed as competition with each other and newer aircraft making companies are needed as competition with each other.

I find all of this stuff amusing. The government wants Boeing to build government spacecraft. The government wants to put Boeing out of business so we not only won't have spacecraft but we don't have any airplanes either. What am I not understanding?

A former employee of the American corporation Boeing told the secrets of the company. In particular, he said that in the production of airplanes model Boeing 787 Dreamliner used components written off as scrap metal. According to him, at least 50 thousand defective parts now stand in the airplanes that perform flights around the world.
Richard Cuevas, a mechanic at Strom, which acts as a subcontractor for the U.S. aerospace corporation Boeing, said that "his life turned upside down" after he began talking about irregularities in the production of Boeing airplanes, Newsweek writes. The expert sounded the alarm after learning shocking details on the subject of airplane safety. According to him, the information he received is only the "tip of the iceberg."
