You know, I’d be perfectly fine if they nationalized the company for as long as it takes to restore a deep and unshakable sense of “you do not fuck with QA” to Boeing.
Their current board and corporate leadership should be prosecuted for criminal negligence for allowing it to get this bad after the MCAS crashes, and moreover after they publicly committed to drastically improving QA and general safety policies following those crashes.
The US government will disolve the FAA before they nationalize any industry.
I’m not talking about the whole industry. Boeing is a single company.
It appears that nationalizing the company and taking 100% of the profit drive out of the loop until after a healthy safety culture has been re-established, would be the only way forward. But consequences? For top level management? That wouldn't even happen in Western Europe - much less in the US.
What's a couple thousand dead "plebs" compared to the pain and suffering that a CEO like Muilenburg, or Calhoun would experience from even an immediate termination of contract without bonuses, god forbid they'd have to face an actual sentence in a criminal trial.
