The New York Times is, for me, one of the best sources anywhere for news of journalistic quality in the pre-internet use of the word 'journalism'. This article came out today, and I hope most of you can access it through the link. Sometimes the NYTimes paywall may be a problem. While I do not question the facts or the quotes in the article, I think it may give a more critical take on the Boeing 737 Max program than necessary, mainly through the article's title.

Basically I think Boeing and some of its managers are guilty of some poor decisions regarding the MCAS control system and their attitude toward making a safety upgrade an 'optional' add-on for the 737 Max8. I don't think the entire 737 project was a bad poorly executed program. I don't think the NY Times article really says that, but some of its headings imply it.
