I agree with the sentiment more than the solution.

In the American system, the gov should assess punitive fines for regulatory failures, revoke self regulation privileges, and impose consent decrees on company behaviors.

The combined impact of these actions would cost Boeing billions which would result in shareholder action to replace management.

Perhaps the gov should also investigate willful neglect on the part of management. If it’s found that engineers complained about policies for reasonable safety concerns and management ignored them, then personal liability, perhaps even criminal, would extend to the directors and executives.

I don’t know how much of this would happen, or be found guilty in court. But I do hope this isn’t just another administrative slap on the wrist like 2019.
