WideScreen, it's very heartening to read that there are others who saw the facts of Forkner's situation, or at least some major elements of those facts (as you've noted), as not deserving prosecution, let alone conviction.
Especially after the unseemly - and unlawful (imho) - manipulation of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement process to exclude the crash victims' families in the Texas criminal case against Boeing, the efforts to hoist Mr. Forkner to twist in the wind look even more outrageous. As if the deliberate deceit after Lion Air wasn't bad enough....(and all the other things on all the other levels in which the company acted wrongly).
