A U.S. judge on Tuesday set a June 23 trial date in the Justice Department's criminal fraud case against Boeing stemming from the planemaker's alleged misrepresentations to U.S. regulators about a key system on the 737 MAX.

The company is a oxymoron. a complete contradiction of any morals. Side talkers all the way. I'm sorry I couldn't say anything good.
Boeing’s New $20 Billion Contract Probably Won’t Stop Its Tailspin
More money won’t fix the problems that landed Boeing in court.

American air and space travel needs more and better competitors.
That’s the conclusion I’ve drawn from a spate of recent news about Boeing.
Since 2018 and 2019—when 346 people were Κіlled in the two 737
MAX cггashes—Boeing’s quality problems have persisted—and go beyond
the stratosphere.
Just ask astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams,
who last June strapped in for what was supposed to be a quick test flight
of Boeing’s Starliner capsule, a Total POS.
Soon after their June 5 liftoff, helium leaked and thrusters malfunctioned
as they piloted the Starline to the International Space Station.
So instead of heading back on the Starliner, the pair waited nine months
until Elon Musk’s SpaceX delivered a fresh crop of astronauts and brought
Wilmore and Williams back to earth.
Neither the 737 MAX mսrders nor the Starliner’s technical woes were
enough to dissuade the Trump administration from awarding Boeing the
lucrative contract to build the F-47, a Next Generation Air Dominance
jet named after the 47th president that will “quarterback”
a future drone fleet to penetrate enemy air defenses.
After receiving such a lucrative gift from the Trump administration,
I am not surprised Boeing this week tried to take advantage of the
government’s goodwill by attempting to withdraw a July 2024 agreement
to plead guilty to defrauding the Federal Aviation Administration
“in a long-running criminal case that blamed the company for deceiving
regulators before two deadly cгashes of 737 MAX jets,”
reports the Wall Street Journal..
The federal judge overseeing the case has since ordered Boeing to trial.
How did Boeing defraud the FAA? The Department of Justice alleges Boeing intentionally misled safety regulators about the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, a new software system on the MAX.
An MCAS error caused the two fatal accidents, according to the Journal.
Boeing’s guilty plea agreement followed a 2021 settlement that put the
company on corporate probation for three years after pleading guilty in
a criminal case that “blamed the company for deceiving regulators”
prior to the cгash of the two 737 MAX jets, noted the Journal.
In 2024, days before Boeing’s probation was set to expire,
a door panel blew off an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX—drawing fresh scrutiny
of Boeing’s manufacturing process and a new Justice Department investigation.
Depraved Indifference to Human Life, Will They Be Held Accountable ?
