‘Incredibly damning’ Boeing messages show employee unease on 737 Max

Are they "incredibly damning"? It's impossible to tell from the minimal amount quoted in this almost content-free article.

This article has the actual email and chat transcripts (scroll down to the bottom): https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/9/21059420/boeing-employees-...

Most of the discussion is about the 737 Max siumulator, not the aircraft itself.

Whatever it is, the review process has to be overhauled so this kind of thing cannot happen in the future.

Boeing forsook their reputation for the next 39 years on this stupidity.

The text itself is not so damning as the picture it paints of a company contemptuous of and comfortable lying to the regulators

Bad people running PR at Boeing. If you have bad news it's best to get it all out at once. Instead it's been months of drip-drip-drip that is starting to look like the 737 MAX just won't fly again. The Boeing brand is tainted and the MAX monicker destroyed.

737 Max was just an MVP, they're still iterating.

Maximum Victimized People is quite an acronym.
