Like many other lessons borrowed from commercial aviation, these are supremely relevant to tech companies.
Edit: BA stock down 1.27% in after-hours trade. I guess the market has decided that this behaviour is fine.
Like you said, this basically confirms everything we already knew. So it stands to reason that the stock is already priced accordingly and a large drop wouldn’t be expected. It’s already down about 35-40% since the crashes.
Also, seems doubtful but possibly additional issues may still be found with this aircraft design as it is. Possibly though retrofits aren’t found to fully solve these problems or themselves create other issues.

I guess the markets have a short memory as long as you only kill people instead of simply losing people's money.

Funny - these same attributes are prevalent at my employer. But all we do is make software.
