They allege that Boeing violated a 2021 deal to improve its compliance program after the crashes, citing a recent in-flight blowout incident involving a Boeing 737 MAX 9 jet. The Justice Department is investigating the matter and considering whether Boeing breached the agreement, which included a deferred prosecution charge on the condition of compliance. Family members argue for an independent monitor to ensure Boeing’s adherence to the agreement and emphasize the need for accountability.
