    Just another proof that it doesn’t matter who you are, and what you do. Corporate America will fuck you over in every way it possibly can

    The retaliation isn’t even the story here. Interference with delegated FAA responsibilities is, and the FAA should be handling it. Any type of delegation interference is a serious issue.

      Regulatory capture, it’s a problem through the government. Decades ago U.S. regulatory agencies were well respected around the world, to the point where if a U.S. body approved something, many other countries automatically followed. Now they’re a joke, taking orders from the industries they are supposed to oversee.

        I mean, yeah. But from someone in the industry, delegation is fucking huge and we wouldn’t fly without it.

        Take my words for what they’re worth: not much. I’ve been a delegated source inspector for GE and I’ve dealt with delegated FAA peeps and auditors. Delegation is a big deal. You basically don’t work for your employer while you’re in a delegated role. The idea of either interfering or retaliating for delegated authority is insane. Especially with FAA delegation.

        Every time a regulator is hired by a company that they formerly regulated, there should be a full audit looking for any conflicts of interest in their entire time at the regulator. And charges on both sides of the bribery equation if any are found, including both the company itself and any employees, executives, and owners involved or who had knowledge of it and didn’t step forward.

        And if the company has policies that make it less likely that evidence is found, then go after everyone who was involved in making or approving those policies.

    Without my glasses, I thought the thumbnail was some kind of ape. I blurred this screenshot a little to simulate.

    Those poor executives had to endure a very uncomfortable conference call before getting on the party bus headed for the golf course. I know cause I book some of those rides and I can assure all you peasants that they’re VERY concerned about your rent.

    Starting to think it’s about time for all the families of folks killed by capitalist decisions to invest in pitchforks and request some of those stock buyback dividends live and in person.

        I’m no fan of Marxist Leninists. But from their first sentence and by all the ones that followed. They were speaking more about corporate death penalty specifically. And they’re right.

        Short of running out of cash or other resources corporations are effectively immortal. There is no low they can stoop to that is too low. Shareholders and board members alike should be afraid of something other than not maximizing profits. And I’d argue, for egregious cases. There absolutely should be manslaughter charges for those involved. If not a death penalty.

        I mean this is criminal negligence that lead to many deaths. I’m not a fan of the death penalty but they should be held as liable as a drink driver or someone who skimps on building materials and kills someone when the building collapses.
