In light of their continued Soviet-style handling of the 737MAX crisis, the current leadership gives me little reason to trust anything associated with them. Top to bottom.

But even secondary to that, Boeing has had a spotty record this year with everything from new military aircraft needing to be recalled due to debris being found or what have you...to the company issuing a warning over a week ago about several dozen new commercial planes (including the grounded 737 MAX) needing key wings parts replaced...and just more revelations of the unfortunate changes in company ethics, hiring practices, and corporate culture in general...like all that new Chinese involvement.

And too many multimillion dollar political donations...like the cool $10 million they gave Obama for his presidential library.

US-based airline companies plus FAA are also not in the best shape, especially ethically speaking.

When a major manufacturing company has a problem like the 737MAX the investigation will eventually reveal a lot of embarrassing stuff. History has proven that the worst thing a company can do is to try to do anything that would appear to impede the investigation. Take your hit & learn from it. Boeing is going to go through a period where everything they do or fail to do will will become fodder for the Media. And that will partly be do to the execs pushing to reveal this stuff.

There are always line workers and line supervisors who know the real deal. Internal investigations eventually find out that “somebody knew” and “somebody higher up was told and did nothing”. For the next few years Boeing will be more or less an open book— until the next senior management group has to learn this hard lesson all over again.
