From what I read, this is mostly lower level people ignoring regulations but managers immediately reported to execs who reported to FAA.

I guess there are a lot of issues with that factory?

Of course, it's those decptive workers! The c-suite was busy shopping for their 2nd private island in Bermuda, and all those hateful poor people stopped making planes right 8-/

I'm not sure what you're reading, but here are a few reference links:

The boeing c-suite should go to prison, but how likely is that in murika?

To paraphrase Robert Reich: I'll believe the ultra wealthy are people when texas executes one...

The article doesn't state the exact number of tests skipped or falsified, but the headline is misleading. It isn't 787 tests, it is tests on 787 model aircraft.

I think it's perfectly fine to assume some amount background knowledge. I mean which person who has heard about the recent boeing issues would assume that 787 refers to the amount of tests and not the model number of the aircraft?

being too big to fail sounds frickin sweet
