Don't waste yours.

Boeing is anxiously waiting for a decision from the DOJ regarding potential criminal charges or a settlement linked to a door plug blowout incident on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9. The DOJ's choice to potentially revoke legal protections granted to Boeing in 2020 adds to the tension. Any criminal conviction could significantly damage Boeing's reputation and affect its government contracts. The Justice Department is reportedly urging Boeing to plead guilty to fraud over the 737 Max crashes, risking the company's stock performance and contractual relations. The proposed plea deal, including a hefty financial penalty and corporate oversight, has sparked outrage from families of crash victims and legal representatives, accusing the DOJ of offering Boeing a 'sweetheart deal.'

Boeing faces sanctions from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for breaching regulations by disclosing non-public information and speculating on causes of a door plug blowout incident on a 737 Max 9 aircraft. The NTSB condemned Boeing's actions as a 'blatant violation' and restricted the company's access to investigative details while maintaining its involvement in the probe. This violation has led US regulators to consider referring Boeing's conduct to the Department of Justice for further action, highlighting the seriousness of the breach in investigative protocol.
