Legal just does what legal does. It is the top management that gives them their authority. Given the time frame for the original decisions, it is probably not the current CEO that caused this, but the previous one. For several years, Boeing did not have a technically trained CEO. Not only Boeing, but the crews, passengers and their families are paying the price for that mistake.

Why aren't they giving the passengers VR headsets? Different prices of course for different features and resolutions. They must be thinking of profit points here.

You should see The Simpsons remake with Bart playing the William Shatner part while on a bus ride to school. Epic, but I guess you had to have seen the first ones to even realize the parody.

This is very different from what Westjet said in the immediate aftermath of the incident, when they framed the reaction as "articles with unfortunate and frankly, irresponsible headlines". They praised their pilots and procedures by concluding with the following in their blog: "Relying on their skill, training and experience, our pilots who landed our Boeing 737-800 at SXM last week made the right call, and the process worked the way in which it’s intended." Really????????????
