Safety and company/shareholder value are both important aspects to running a successful business, and I would agree that there is a direct relationship between the two. However, there were several instances during the 737Max's life, from RTDE to airline operation, that raised red flags. Each time, Boeing had a choice between keeping a positive safety/shareholder balance, or taking a short cut to maximize profits. As most of us have seen and read, Boeing chose the latter. The end result caused hundreds of lives and grounding of the aircraft.
N9341c...I do understand this, unfortunately all too well. From Wall Street to the left seat, I'm well seasoned in both. While you're welcome to your opinion, your snarky comments have no use here.
Iran poses such a greater threat to the safety of so many other people/countries but we don't want to talk about that, right? The UN and its court are unbelievable.
So lets recap...four passengers are told to leave by crew members to accommodate other airline employees. Three of the four leave without incident but one refuses, prompting the airline to call airport police in order to have the passenger removed. Passenger now disobeys crew AND police orders to leave aircraft so he is forcefully removed. Now 100 other passengers are going to be late to their destination along with the crew members just because some idiot wanted to make a scene. I can't believe how many people think he's a 'victim'.
