Integrity has no financial upside, doing the right thing isn't usually profitable.

hi there Rated De
my god you are cynical! The biggest driver to make your airplane or airline as safe as it can be should be that this is how to stay in business. Crash twice and as we see it’s all over for a long time. I can name several airlines that went out of business on this premise.
An old saying in our airline “ if you think Safety is expensive, try having a crash or two!” The touchy-feely part about empathy for our customers etc, comes with the hard nosed business model free of charge. If you make your planes fly safely at whatever cost, it’s money well spent and passengers are as safe as can be.
Now some are saying that Boeing are taking chances with that business model deliberately. I would be amazed if that were true. That they might have screwed up the MCAS design is without doubt, but I don’t think it was a Machiavellian plot.
