On another thread there was recently a comment, that VW commited fraud, whereas BA "just" misjudged the human handling capabilities of a tech defect.
This thread is nicely shows that there is culture of trying to get away with the cheapest solution, trying to hide it and upon beeing caught just updating the books and check lists, at max adding some alert to an already overloaded deprecated alerting system.
No wonder they thought they could get away with it one more time.
