Federal prosecutors are recommending to senior Justice Department officials that criminal charges be brought against Boeing after finding that the aircraft manufacturer violated a settlement relating to two fatal crashes, two sources with knowledge of the situation told Reuters.

The Justice Department must decide by July 7 whether to prosecute Boeing.

In May, federal officials determined that Boeing violated a 2021 agreement that had shielded the company from criminal charges of conspiracy to commit fraud in relation with two fatal crashes in 2017 and 2018 involving its 737 MAX jet.

Boeing hopes to avoid a guilty plea, one of the sources said, as the company believes it could be too damaging. The company relies heavily on contracts with the federal government, including those with the Department of Defense, which could be jeopardized by a guilty plea, Reuters reported.

The classical rock and a hard place. Boeing has had a black eye lately because of problems with their planes. Now to correct those problems Boeing will have to start hiring highly trained and competent employees again. But that means that the DEIs will have to go. And that is the rock and the hard place because government contracts mandate that companies hire the stupid and incompetent. Good luck to Boeing on this.

I worked almost 21 years at Boeing as did my uncle and my brother.
None of this Shiite would have happened under our watch.
DIE and “Bean counters” are killing the company.
That is why we(Boeing used to be a family oriented company) got the heck out ASAP!
You Democrats reap what “YE sow”
Who wants to work for an incompetent minority a$$wipe?
Or Non engineer bean counter?
In my day Y’all got laid off if you weren’t loyal and above all competent.
DEI should be DIE!
In my day any employee could walk into company HQ in Seattle Plant two and make an appointment to make their concerns known.
They don’t make many aircraft in Chicago where HQ is now.

BTW 737’s are assembled in Renton WA.
Democrat.

Boeing is one of the most DEI companies on the planet and needs held accountable for the decisions of those unqualified executives.

[mewzilla]

Boeing has been doing exactly what Deep State wanted.

So why is Deep State now making an example of Boeing...

There is far, far more to this story.

All that China cash to American politicians.
Problem, reaction solution.

One incompetent DEI obsessed white guy at the top with pretty much every Boeing management job related to supply chain, quality control, engineering in the commercial division which lie at the heart of Boeing’s problems is filled by a woman or African American. What could possibly go wrong?

[MTBobcat]

Exactly. If Boeing doesn’t hire under-qualified DEI engineers, it gets harassed and fined by Biden’s DOJ. Once the predictable failures occur, they get harassed, fined, and prosecuted. Leftism is all about dumbing down society into controllable idiots.

Boeing has been wanting to split into 5 companies and sell off 4.

I wonder if this is what finally pushed the DOJ to take action:

Astronauts stranded in space due to multiple issues with Boeing's Starliner — and the window for a return flight is closing

[chuckee]

Funny you should mention the Boeing space program. The DEI cancer is not exclusive to their commercial division. It extends to their space program. This is the guy in charge of their space and security program

DIE did the same thing to Intel in Portland.
Obama installed one of his stooges in HR and the company hasn’t been the same since.

From your link:

“In 2022, The Black Engineer of the Year Awards named Colbert Black Engineer of the Year, the organization’s top honor”

This is too perfect.

Funny you should mention the Boeing space program.

Their space program was not ready for takeoff.

Elon Musk would have been hands on and spent his timr troubleshooting every problem before it's ready to carry astronauts to space.

Excellent observation from MTBobcat. I can only add a similar observation that only the Democrats can pressure a company to hire people who are undereducated, underqualified, and under skilled to perform tasks where there is no room for errors because people's lives are at stake, and then turn around and prosecute the company when things go wrong.

“DIE did the same thing to Intel in Portland.”
I thought Intel was in Hillsborough.
