I don't think so. This Boeing issue is not a technical issue (for which you need engineers), but just the implementation of the legal requirements about how to design/build airplanes.
So, a stiff lawyer's word towards (senior) management will do more than any engineer can accomplish.
A change of law, to make (senior) management by definition personally responsible for intentional deviations from a proper implementation of legal requirements around the airplane design/manufacturing, would help tremendously to solve these issues, ehhh, greed above suitable quality / follow the rules.
