    Good thing for Boeing that their civil aviation branch is above suspicion, otherwise it would be very bad. But as long as they look very serious here, I’m sure they’ll continue to deserve all that public money for their big projects, which is obviously great for everyone! /s

      Not sure how the current problems are handled, but the Starliner development was a fixed-cost rather than cost-plus contract for once. So at least Boeing ate massive losses on that one.

        I wonder if the astronauts stuck on the ISS feel like it is Boeing that is the one taking the L here.
