tdracer "Those of you who want a much large financial penalty against Boeing, you need to ask what's your end-game?"
A large financial penalty is about the only way the government has (other than incarceration) to make the company accountable. The sad thing is the immense consequences this has on people who are in no way responsible. In my judgment, the desirable end-game is change. Change in the corporate culture, change in the motivations that governed bad decisions made by management and those who needed to satisfy management, change in the business goals and measures of performance in business plans that gave priority to share price, schedule and sales numbers. No fine will bring back lost lives.
But it seems you are much closer to the company than the rest of us. What do you think will result in real change, so that the fundamental values that led to these disasters don't lead to the next one?
