- Rather than proceeding with the trial set to begin on June 23, Boeing agreed to contribute an extra $444.5 million to a compensation pool that will be distributed equally among the families of the crash victims.

- Although Boeing shows signs of recovery with a new leader and resolved strike, many believe the planned DOJ resolution will deepen victims’ families’ pain and challenge Boeing’s efforts to restore its reputation.
