This time they are in the deepest of sh_t.
Boeing has done nothing to change their unsafe greedy culture in the 6 years since the accidents so they certainly won't do anything that will make a difference. All Boeing and FAA do is makes plans...that hardly ever come to fruition... Total joke.
The whole aviation industry has been built on lies and concealment. After decades it is catching up to them.
Boeing has proven to be good at concealing stuff from and lying to the FAA. Didn't the FAA give Boeing time to implement a software fix to Max after the first smoking hole, even after learning what Boeing concealed and lied about, which then resulted in a second smoking hole? Doesn’t instill much confidence that FAA will keep Boeing airplanes from creating more smoking holes. Maybe Boeing should change their name to Smoking Hole Aviation...

Wish FAA would grow a pair and just shutter this clown and monkey show before more people are lost.
Boeing is now losing market share to both Airbus and COMAC. Besides China, COMAC is now selling planes to other SE Asian countries and is seeking EASA certification. FAA certification doesn't carry much weight anymore other than in US. Boeing has had to sell their planes for many years at a negative profit just to retain their quickly declining market share.
This isn’t really the issue. The real issue is that Boeing is losing market share to Airbus for narrow bodies and there’s really no change in the foreseeable future as airbus doubles their production rate.
Losing their manufacturing certificate from FAA will be a big problem and financial loss.
Time to layoff all the DEI BS, cancel all the useless meetings, and get productive.
