This will be an even bigger disaster than the fact they make planes that crash.
Boeing should be abolished, its board of directors all placed in front of a firing squad.

They've been doing this for literal decades. There's no new engineering work to be done here, this is just a production contract for an existing product. We were dropping Boeing-made JDAMs on the Taliban 20+ years ago.

That's why boeing will never fail or face any real consequences no matter how much they frick up. They have massive gubment contracts and connections, no way will the feds mess with them in any meaningful way.

The other thing people don't understand is that Boeing is itself a tier II supplier for every other aero/defense company in the US, and the inverse is also true. The entire US aero industry is so heavily intermixed that a singular “Boeing failure” would mean that the entire industry would not exist.
For example, Boeing and Northrop have literally hundreds of existing contracts where one is a supplier for the other. If they magically merged tomorrow, there would be literally no functional change to the industry.
