#1 I have no idea why anyone smart enough to be a pilot would text that he had (even unwittingly) lied to government investigators.

#2 So why did he text it and not report it? If that's the case he is culpable in the deaths. Boeing has a great ethics program that protects anyone raising a safety or ethics issue. If you file an ethics or safety violation concern your protected from firing or even layoffs. Your untouchable. I keep hearing this stuff from 3 or four years ago on this plane, why did they just text and not report???

#3 Boeing is rotten , that is the only conclusion i can arrive after what i have read about what MCAS does, no new specific simulator training for that, significant changes in equipment not put into manual.
Or is there some group sabotaging Boeing from inside or it has a severe organizational disease.
I am also shocked that shareholders continue to support that rotten culture and the CEO and the guys around him continue there.
