Slap on the wrist.
Under Trump, corporations can do some of the worst shit imaginable and only face couch cushion fees (take that as you will) - just so long as they extol the
virusesvirtues of Hair Führer.(take that as you will)
Without this line, my mind wouldn’t have even gone there.
Guess it says something about me that mine did. What exactly that is, I don’t know…
I’ll save anyone else Googling it: A single new Boeing 737 costs around $100 million.
And they work about as well as this fine will.
So it looks an awful fucking lot like they just paid off the FAA early this year, and in turn, the idiots running the show now simply said “ok, great, you can sign your own inspections again - wink wink nudge nudge”.
Mafia-style government is so fucking imbecilic it hurts
$3.1 million?? These must be some incredibly outdated laws that are being applied for that figure to be so low. Boeing planes will become the new Ford Pintos: it’s cheaper to kill a few people than it is to fix their shit.
A whole 3 million! 😱 Don’t spend it all at once!
Wow twenty cents
They could 100x this and it would still be chump change to Boeing
If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.
Don’t expect it to improve anytime soon. Cost cutting initiatives are back on the menu! Standard corporate behavior of squeezing until something breaks.
