Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

But then the managers would have got fewer bonuses. How can you be so heartless?

Or investing in a plane design that was not lopsided due to being rushed out the door to compete with Airbus, necessitating the need for the MCAS system to begin with because they also didn’t want to invest in pilot retraining on how to fly a lopsided plane.
