In early March, fumes detected in the cabin of a Boeing 737-800 Alaska Airlines flight caused a flight destined for Phoenix to return to the Portland airport. The Port of Portland said passengers and crew noticed the fumes and the flight landed safely. Seven people including passengers and crew requested medical evaluations, but no one was hospitalized, officials said.

On Friday, a Boeing 737-800 was found to have a missing panel after a United Airlines flight arrived in southern Oregon from San Francisco. The plane landed without incident and the external panel was discovered missing during a post-flight inspection. The Federal Aviation Administration said it would investigate the incident.
Those are the incidents that are public. Imagine what other stuff doesn’t reach the media because it’s not “newsworthy”.
Oops, another bolt fell off midflight…
Plus the guy who was going to testify but right before that he committed suicide.
take a golden parachute deal and shuffle off to a different company
That guy might get a $100 million payout and then he immediately starts working for Evil Corp Death Drone Aeronautics at twice his old salary. Meanwhile Boeing will find some much lower level people to scapegoat. And Garland’s DOJ will to a PR job. They won’t prosecute any execs. Instead they’ll do what they always do. They’ll level large (if not huge) fines and give press conferences crowing about this is justice and how the rule of law is he law of the land. It’s a nifty reward to the most guilty (the rich and connected) because it’s their get out of jail free card plus their reputations can remain unblemished.
Plenty of times, the fees aren’t even paid for years, and then cut down. Remember that chevron case with about 20 billion dollars in fees that they didn’t pay for, they got the fee amount cut down by half and still haven’t paid.
Yeah, that’s the fucked up part. They’ve done the cost/benefit analysis and have worked out that just letting their planes fly until a huge disaster happens is more profitable than actually maintaining their planes.
What the fuck is going on?

They know they’re only going to get a slap on the wrist until it’s something catastrophic
Which, even then, is going to get someone to take a golden parachute deal and shuffle off to a different company
Which should make people so much angrier
