I think a company that puts its profits before its customers safety, should be made to pay for its audacity. I feel sorry for its workers and contractors though. It wasn'y their decision to cut corners. That management decision.

Sounds like the people making decisions are shorting their own company.

CEOs: Lets cut workers and whistleblowers and keep your bonuses.

If boeing slips into a junk credit rating they've done it to themselves. has nothing to do with the employees.

They should not of tried to bankrupt Bombardier. They should not of tried to keep the CSeries A220 out of the market.

Comac thank you. C919, c929 and c939 are coming.

That's why I prefer Airbus over Boeing.

Let's silence the whistle blowers more like, I've heard of at least two mysterious deaths just before testifying was to occur...

Boeing has been producing life-threatening aircraft for a long time.

Honestly, the strikes are the only way Boeing will address the safety issues in their planes.

Workers are likely saving lives.

Imagine protesting when the company is going out of business

Airlines that have ordered the Boeing 777X should consider canceling the order in favor of Airbus A350-1000 XWBs!
