The Case Against Boeing
This is off-topic, but WalterBright&#x27;s participation here has reminded me of my own weaknesses. Everything I have read about the 737Max has put a pitchfork in my hands to go after Boeing. Walter&#x27;s are the first comments I have read that make me think perhaps Boeing wasn&#x27;t completely, utterly, criminally unjustified.<p>It is interesting that Walter has chosen to jump in like this, and to hold his position so firmly so publicly. He must realize that this action threatens to paint him very unfavorably to a lot of people. There seems to be no reason for him to speak out and take such a risk.<p>To do this seems to me to require either a certain level of stupidity or a certain level of conviction and courage. My impression is that Walter has considerable courage and some motivation to try to counteract public ignorance.<p>FWIW, Walter&#x27;s courage has given at least one person pause. I&#x27;m going to put the pitchfork down for a little bit. Boeing still isn&#x27;t on my good list, but now I admit that I don&#x27;t know as much about this as I thought I did.
