Boeing, Southwest Airlines Sued for Alleged Collusion Over 737 MAX 8
Southwest Airlines Co. and The Boeing Co. were hit with a lawsuit by Southwest customers who say the companies colluded to hide a fatal design defect in Boeing’s 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The complaint, filed July 11 in a federal court in Texas under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleges Southwest obtained profits through a collusive relationship with Boeing, its sole airplane supplier.

This article says more about the state of the legal system and the abuses by the trial lawyers than about airplanes.
Couldn't agree more! Some of these would have complained about flights being cancelled by the airline due to the fault being discovered! Just like the idiots who demand a plane takes of in dense fog with a foot of snow on the wings!!!!
Amen!
Seems like a long shot. But if there was collusion, that's pretty damning for Southwest, and Boeing.
Imagine Southwest knowing about the problem with the Max, and not telling their pilots. Wow...

I was thinking the same thing.
The gist seems to be not that much different between the legal battles on a global level: Emirates getting government support to swamp the world, thus obtaining profits, Boeing getting preference on X government requirement, thus obtaining profits, Airbus getting Y government support thus obtaining profits.
This could take years and the complainants will run out of cash to fund it before SW/Boeing does.
