I was fully expecting a grounding once I first heard the details of the second crash and saw how closely it resembled the first. I was shocked that it didn’t happen before other international agencies did it. The FAA did itself no favor here.

If you know anyone that's worked in the industry, you know there have been issues well before 2014.

Since the company merged with its competitor they had a complete management shift which incentivizes many of the failures we've seen recently.

Al Jazeera did an investigation into them in 2014; you should be able to find it available online somewhere. It was damning and surprisingly well researched.

Mind you this was well before they changed the system regarding the nose pointing down; without disclosing it to the pilots.

They are just going business as usual. I and many I know well would never willingly fly in one of their planes.

it's a shame that a lot of international agencies used to look to the FAA first as a benchmark for policies. But they really dropped the ball here and giving the perception of prioritizing Boeing's profit margins over consumer safety.
