I agree with you and the report itself has some inflammatory and accusatory information that while seemingly a conviction of Boeing is also a validation that the FAA has created a system the rewards these behaviors.
As a parallel I submit to you the FAA Medical process - a system by which it is better for a pilot to conceal or not report until terrible a condition that could invalidate their medical and remove them from flight duties.
While both of these are bad for the consumer, I ask - who is at fault? The big company, the pilot, or the people making the rules that encourage such behaviors.
Shouldn’t all three bear some fault? The big company for not proactively supporting their staff to report (e.g. benefits), the pilot for doing something ethically wrong, and the regulatory body for encouraging the broken system?
