Boeing employees raised doubts among themselves about the safety of the 737 Max, apparently tried to hide problems from federal regulators and ridiculed those responsible for designing and overseeing the jetliner, according to a batch of emails and texts released nearly a year after the aircraft was grounded over two catastrophic crashes.
The documents, made public Thursday by congressional investigators, are likely to fuel allegations that the vaunted aircraft manufacturer put speed and cost savings ahead of safety in rolling out the Max. Boeing has been wracked by turmoil since the twin disasters and is still struggling to get the plane back in the air. Last month, it fired its CEO, Dennis Muilenburg.
In the internal messages, Boeing employees talked about misleading regulators about problems with the company's flight simulators. which are used to develop aircraft and train pilots. In one exchange, an employee told a colleague he or she wouldn't let family members ride on a 737 Max.
Employees also groused about Boeing's senior management, the company's selection of low-cost suppliers, wasting money, and the Max.

AS someone that has been in the industry for over 25 years, from manufacturing , Aircraft technician ( flight line) to being in a engineering department, if you cannot have a conscience on "SAFETY" then you can go fuck yourself , so if the inspection department and the others knew.......................then they have diminished the record's of me and thousands of others that operated on the premise that "SAFETY" was paramount over anything and nothing else...................and need to be brought into account..............
I was trained that it was my job to ground the planes I worked on, in the name of "SAFETY"...............................and to make sure that the planes we worked on were safe for everyone ......................end of story

There are companies out there that have done cost-benefit analysis and decided it's "more efficient" to pay settlements and lawsuits when people die than to fix known problems.
