Thanks for the thoughtful response. I was admittedly thinking more about their quality problems due to their spinning out big chunks of their manufacturing, and the general failures of management, rather than specifically the MAX problems and the fraud in question, so my comment was somewhat off-topic. But in general, it seems that they’re encouraged to not look too closely at parts of their business that are acting in risky ways, and if that’s the case, perhaps we should change the incentives to try to fix that. I don’t know what that would look like, there are obviously limits to how much someone can know about what’s going on 6 layers below in the org chart. But making them liable would certainly be an incentive. I think people would still take the job, given how much is typically on offer.
