United Airlines has blamed Boeing for a $200m (£161m) hit to its earnings in the first three months of this year.

The carrier was forced to ground its Boeing 737 MAX 9 fleet for three weeks after a mid-air cabin blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight in January.

United said that pushed it to a pre-tax loss of $164m for the first quarter.

Regardless of what you think of rich ass corporations, this is an important liability issue. United shouldn't be on the hook for losing money when it was Boeing's fault

Then they should.sue Boeing like any other business. Picking a faulty vendor means sorting it out with the vendor.

There ought to be an outright ban on Boeing airplanes and a class action lawsuit against the company for putting peoples' lives in danger and causing reputation damages to flight companies.

Such bans, or rather groundings, are up to the FAA. So far, they actually let Boeing self-regulate. Maybe this will change that stance.
