Today’s key stories focus on Boeing’s decision regarding the Department of Justice plea deal as the deadline stretched into the weekend. Boeing either “needs to accept a plea deal, or argue at trial why it’s innocent of a crime they already said it committed.” At the same time, there is pressure on Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco to recuse herself from the case given her prior history with Boeing.
Stories on what the potential fraud plea could mean for the industry, whether Boeing can recover the public’s trust, and how “financialization wrecked a great company.” The Boeing decision, and level of supervision required with an independent monitor, could have implications on delivery rates.
An interesting interview with the CEO of Boom talks about the need for other industry players as the duopoly is aging and impeded. While Boom may not be the player to challenge the duopoly, it will provide innovation, that is claimed to be lacking in the duopoly.
Finally, a story in the Times of India speaks about the Boeing tour last week that was an opportunity for the company to discuss its advances in safety. That same tour was described somewhat differently in the CBS video, reflecting an interesting contrast.
