Good point, the statute of limitations for killing your customers should probably only be two years. That's, like, ancient history in tech years! GPT 4 wasn't even released at that point!

We can't keep holding them accountable for such negligence, after all they've been really really good in the two years since- they only let a door fall off of a plane once! And no one died from that! We don't need to mention that if the seat next to the door was filled and they were not wearing their seatbelt, it is highly likely they would have died.

EDIT: My bad, it was 5 years ago, not 2 years ago. I skimmed the Wikipedia page too fast, much like Boeing's engineers did while trying to bypass FAA regulations. I should be punished, but Boeing did nothing wrong.

Agreed.

Responding poorly maybe but all blame goes to Boeing. Pilots didn’t even know it existed and only got training and an override in 2021 from your link.

No. In the case of Ethiopian airlines they knew exactly what was going on when MCAS kicked in and almost immediately responded. MCAS pushed the plane down SO hard that something in the tail got stuck. Boeing spent a lot of time trying to blame this on pilots when 1.) they initially didn't even train them on it, and 2.) even if trained...once it happens...you have extremely little time to react.

5 years is "a while"?

>Which was due to MCAS malfunction and pilots responding poorly to it.

I think if they are the point where they are murdering whistleblowers than I wouldn't take Boeing gaslighting about who was to blame for that on face value.
