I sincerely hope this whole Boeing debacle will be used as wake-up call for other large corporations, or the general public.
Most of them are not as safety-critical, but some of them are, thinking about Big Pharma and Chemical giants...

So what may have started as an over zealous developer with a well intentioned manager can become a trend leading to missed deadlines, cut corners and defective code making it to production.
I started to realize that I was no different than Boeing; that I was Boeing and that hasn't sat right with me. So for better or worse, I'm going to be more vocal about things.
In an ideal world, companies with a massive safety-related function should have Warhammer 40k gun servitors hovering over the execs in the event they cut corners on safety with orders to empty the clip!
Boeing are really a gov extension these days from what I can see.
That aside, yes, Boeing and in EU Airbus are very much intertwined with government. It's inevitable when their products are strategically important and barriers to entry high. It's unfortunate, but that's how it is.
Clips help fill internal magazines on older weapons. A servitor drone would have a magazine.
Just being pendantic but I think you'd want "dump a mag into c-suite executives found guilty of corruption in safety critical industries." I'd also say since we don't currently have servitor drones we may have to do it ourselves.
In an ideal world of course.
But I do agree that overall there needs to be more repercussions. Unfortunately they are a "too big to fail" kind of company considering how critical they are to the aviation industry as a whole.
Everyone keeps calling for it (as opposed to government regulation), but these stories keep popping up.
We need to have self-regulation success stories to be highlighted, if we want to go that way.
Why would it? Stock's still up from 2016, higher than Airbus has ever been and those who sold between 2018 and 2020 made absolute bank.
It's not hurt any current board or C-suite member to say nothing of those who actually taken the strategic decisions leading to the current fallout, I've not seen anyone seriously suggesting Stonecipher should be even mildly inconvenienced.
Consider Vioxx:
> Merck withdrew the drug after disclosures that it withheld information about rofecoxib's risks from doctors and patients for over five years, allegedly resulting in between 88,000 and 140,000 cases of serious heart disease.
Like, put your feets into their shoes -- wouldn't you?
By saying enough punishment, I meant at least something like Enron -- Exec went to jail, regulation people got slashed and hacked, company re-structured as we cannot afford to lose it.
