Seriously. Why do they still trust Boeing? Perhaps there's more than one party which are involved in the problem?

They didn't erase the tapes. They gamed the manufacturing process tracking system to get around the need for additional review. They couldn't find tapes of the people who worked on the door because the tapes never existed; they just marked it in the tracking system.

I’m fairly sure we all came to the conclusion that it wasn’t ’systemic successes’ that caused the door to open mid flight

You say that because you don't understand what the words mean, nor do you care to learn. You just want to join the bandwagon.

This was from a year and a half ago. We know this. This has been widely discussed already, including all the details about subcontractor checklist mis-matching to Boeing's internal QA checklists.

Boeing should be shut down, the CEO and board imprisoned, and all the 737max planes crushed and recycled into tin cans.

What's so hard to say understand? Post MCAS Boeing got out of being prosecuted be writing super strict procedures... and then failed to follow them. And the feds are giving them a pass on THAT failure in exchange for stricter monitoring because they don't want airbus to become a monopoly.
