Boeing's Plea Deal Faces Backlash from 737 MAX Crash Victims' Families

Families argue the agreement lacks accountability and fails to ensure future safety improvements.

• Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a fraud charge related to misleading safety regulators before the 737 MAX crashes.
• The plea deal includes a $243.6 million fine and $455 million for safety and compliance improvements over three years.
• An independent compliance monitor will oversee Boeing's progress, but families argue the monitor may not be truly independent.
• Victims' families plan to object to the plea deal, calling it a 'sweetheart' agreement that doesn't hold Boeing fully accountable.
• The Justice Department's revised process for selecting the monitor still allows Boeing some influence, raising concerns among families.
