McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing's own money, as the saying goes, and imported its traditional management issues.
What I'm more interested in is this: Boeing is a very heavily subsidised company, both at the state level and the federal level. As such, a fine is simply the US taxpayer moving money from one pocket to another. It is difficult to imagine a situation where the US allows Boeing to collapse. Does Boeing realise that this makes them functionally immune to fines? If so, what does that mean for future regulatory compliance and future safety standards?
