You spelled assassinate wrong, dude

Retaliated against is a funny way to say killed

“You have a duty to demand the highest safety standards... and [ensure] that ‘speak up’ in fact means speak up, not shut up, as it is meant all too often.”

Tell that to Snowden, Assange, Manning etc.

Quick, prepare the wrist-slapping fines!

And yet, still CEO I see...

Sorry for misinformation - see comment below.

How the f do you even start killing people for this? I mean the PR crisis that follows an assassination makes everything way worse doesn't it?

David Calhoun apologized to the families of Boeing crash victims, saying the manufacturer was “totally committed” to future saftey improvements, as he began testimony at the committee on Tuesday.

Cue South Park investment banker BP oil spill apology.

Also, "saftey"? Seriously, Independent?

We know, they're fucking dead.

People have died due to the greed and corruption of the leadership of Boeing. The people at the top have in fact gotten huge financial rewards by taking actions that were likely to kill people. There is no mechanism in US society to hold these people accountable. Are they going to get put in prison? Nope! Are they going to be PERSONALLY fined? Nope!

I really dislike how in Chinese society people are not able to criticize the government. I hope one day, everyone everywhere will have free speech. It's unfortunate to say this, but in China, this would be dealt with severely and and with impact. I am not saying their mechanism is right, but the US has no mechanism at all. We all know nothing will happen, especially because most of the deaths were foreigners. It's disgusting and makes the US look bad.

why are people in this thread acting as if he's just admitted to ordering hits on whistleblowers

Fine the CEO, not to the company. He has to take responsibility.

Of course they relieved themselves of the resource (human) that negatively impacted the share price.

Same way they relieve themselves of a resource (bolts) that negatively impacts the share price.

This just shows you how much of amateur this guy. If he doesn't know you just lie lie lie what's he doing being a CEO?

What kind of a cruel world do we live in, where the CEO must apologize in public to the families of the plane loads of people their product killed, in literal crashing planes?

Big fucking yikes - wonder what the play is here?

Trying to get in front of the train instead of roped into it ?

Either way, more evidence of the psychopathy that is big business in the states, and a byproduct of late state capitalism
