The surveillance was enough that the current Obama NSA Director, went without permission or whatever, to see Trump and let him know he was being listened in on.

I'll go with, "My campaign was wiretapped".

I see Ivy already replied as well, but I'll use our CEO. I can't tell you how many times in the last 9 months we have been told everything is awesome, only to read something different in the Seattle Times.

All CEOs talk that way, especially when they speak for a board of directors. Trump talks that way because it's his money and his brand.

The whole situation rubs a lot of employees the wrong way. It's always the same. Some group of engineers makes a decision and then the whole company has to pay for the mistake, along with cheesy corporate slogans about how we all are responsible.

Yes, corporate America.

Still a good place to work though.

Um...
Engineers do what they're told
The Director of Engineering does not tell the CEO CFO or CTO what to do

The idea to shortcut the design and just slap the new engines on a 50 year old fuselage

Boeing engineering reported that the retro design failed the flight physics...
and were told there was a software fix

This sits right in the lap of the CTO / CFO / CEO

This is big reason they are opening a "channel of communications" from the Puget Sound engineers to leadership in St Louis.

Its been grounded since March 2019. Boeing last week said halting production of the 737-Max in Jan. Airlines aren't going to resume with it until at least the middle of 2020. Why not just scrap the whole MCAS alltogether like the guy for Air Transport Canada said a couple weeks ago?

Don't know if you can. The plane was designed the way it is, to maximize fuel efficiency.

That's what Cleets was referring to above.

So let me get this straight
-Take 50 year old aircraft design.
-Add larger, further forward mounted engines that the plane wasn't designed to carry.
-Compensate for by flawed MCAS system.
That seems incredibly dumb to me. If it can't be flown without the MCAS, should it be flown at all?

Why not just either:
-get rid of the engines that the plane wasn't designed to carry, and go back to what worked for 50 years?
-Or better yet, why try to put biggger, new engines on a 50 year old aircraft design that wasn't designed to carry them, and instead design a new aircraft from the ground up designed to carry these types of engines, and retire a 50+ year old aircraft design.

It seems to me Boeing is trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole.

The answer to your points above are "stock Value"
If Boeing scraps the MAX they lose billions and 5 years

but YES they need to scrap the MAX
you can't fix massive physics incompatibilities with "software patches"

They need a "from the ground-up" design of a new aircraft
which they have known for years was the case

One thing to keep in mind, is that the airlines put pressure on Airbus and Boeing to limit required training.

One of the big reasons to just do updates instead of building a new plane.

With that said, Boeing has told us it costs about $10 billion to develop a new aircraft.

But I bet the cost of the 2 crashes, Boeing eventually being sued by the victims, airlines and whoever else, grounding for at least a year, halt in production, cancelled orders after a large chunk of the flying public refuses to fly on it, stock drop, etc, etc, is probably going to end up being a lot more than 10 billion, no?

We interrupt this PNW circle jerk for an announcement of another Trump accomplishment:

Trump having his revenge on California as he remakes once-liberal 9th Circuit court
As recently as April 2017, judges appointed by Democratic presidents outnumbered Republican appointees on the court by about 2 to 1 (that number probably also includes semi-retired senior-status judges). The court is now edging toward a more even split, with a ratio of 16 Democrat-appointed active judges to 13 Republican-appointed ones.
