They should actually fine current and former CEOs, board members and other people responsible for these violations. Not just the company.
Why send up a spacecraft that cannot safely return? Prove the tech, safety and quality first, and then deploy it.The Boeing Starliner? More like Starloser.

It's outrageous that the union wants more money. Boeing needs that money to fund bonuses and golden handshakes for the managers whose outstanding work has put them in the position that they're in today.More bad news for Boeing:
Boeing factory workers went on strike early Friday morning after overwhelmingly rejecting a new union contract with the company.
Around 33,000 machinists went on strike shortly after midnight on the West Coast after the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union announced 94.6 percent of workers had voted to reject the proposal and 96 percent approved the stoppage.
The work stoppage puts financial strain on the storied airplane maker, which has been struggling to repair its reputation after the door plug of a Boeing 737 Max 9 blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, prompting regulatory action and congressional scrutiny.
Boeing President Kelly Ortberg, who took over the company early last month, sent a message to workers Wednesday urging them to accept the contract, which had included a 25 percent wage increase over the next four years.
Hope they can resolve this quickly.

The employees' reasoning is simple to me. Politics, and what may occur after the next election. Any further comment may violate rules.
Boeing needs that money to keep the rest of the company's regular employees employed…
You know the 130,000 employees who are doing their best in other business units not involved in the commercial or 737 problems.
They were offered 25%, they want 40%, and the Pensions they gave up a decade ago reinstated.Yeah...I'm still astounded at the number of people who complain about inflation but yet want inflation-busting pay increases. If it costs more to make something, then those costs have to be passed on to the public. In this case, it'll cost Boeing a LOT more to build commercial airliners which means the purchase price will have to go up. Airlines will inevitably pass on that price to their passengers via increased ticket prices.
I'm all for paying a living wage, particularly for skilled workers. However, 25% seems steep to me, even accounting for wage stagnation over the past few years. Airbus must be laughing fit to burst at this latest development.
