From Boeing? They have a history of sorting their shit out. Maybe this time is different, but I doubt it.

It's a shame so many people have to die for them to "sort their shit out". Maybe they shouldn't make idiotic design decisions and lie to regulators in the first place?

Flying is not exactly easy and imperfect beings can't build perfect machines and even if they could they wouldn't be able to test it because they are imperfect. In 1000 years there will still be aircraft accidents.

I would say times have changed at Boeing, because it seems for the MAX, rather than sorting their shit out they instead seem to prefer covering up their design faults.

They also seem to have a bad habit of blaming the dead pilots for not being able to fly they broken planes.
