I ask a question that may well not be for this thread or indeed any thread:
In the whole MCAS affair, Boeing has received (and will continue to) all the justifiable anger of humans and the law. However, South West Airlines who wrote the $1m per airframe penalty clause appear not to have received even a glancing blow?
Whilst it can be said that Boeing were big enough to make their own mistakes (and did) would they have been as likely to commit to MCAS if not for such a high penalty being set by their customer?
Of course, it might just have been 'good old capitalism' at work ...
