My first thoughts on this were "good" but after giving it some thought I realized how fucked up this is.

Boeing could've used this as an opportunity to learn from their mistakes. They could have done some serious self reflection. Instead they said, "nah, fuck that" and will now probably approve their biggest stock buyback ever.

What an abysmal failure of a company.
