Yes. IMO BCA's fundamental failure here was that they forgot who they were selling airplanes to.
Airbus OTH has always had a very good understanding of who and how would operate their planes.

The politicians pointing fingers really ****ed me off. All of them guilty of subsidizing Boeing’s decline by continually bailing them out instead of forcing them to compete. That is the root cause of the disease that is killing Boeing. No amount of regulation or oversight is gonna fix that. Only the invisible hand of the free market will.

Not to mention when the US placed massive tariff on the then CS100/300, an aircraft range/size class Boeing had given up on.
Or the whole tanker A330/B767 debacle. Again, government protectionist policies ruin companies by removing the financial incentive to innovate and build the best product. If you build a good product, it sells itself.
That is the root of the problem. Boeing’s management style and decline is a symptom of the disease, not the cause. Just look at the auto industry in the US to see where Boeing will end up if it continues. Constant bail outs and worse products. 🤦♂️

it failed on 3 previous flights. All those crews handled the emergency just fine.
on the last second flight yes. It was replaced with a counterfeit part and pencil whipped.
they also forgot to mention the FAA retained certification for MCAS.
They got the merger stuff right but we’re wrong about the anything about the MAX. MCAS was about certification flights. Stick force per G. It was not to push the nose down like the media loves to say.
