Irene King: Aviation Expert on Boeing pleading guilty to defrauding regulators
Manage episode 427908811 series 2098280
An aviation expert says Boeing's management would be in jail if it were subject to New Zealand law.
The company's agreed to a guilty plea around defrauding American regulators.
It could pay up to half-a-billion US dollars to avoid prosecution.
The lawsuit relates to two Boeing 737 Max jets that crashed in Indonesia in 2018 —and Ethiopia the year later— leaving hundreds dead.
Irene King told Ryan Bridge that prosecution is just one part of the equation.
She doesn't think it does enough to improve the company's performance or safety.
