They're still so tone deaf it's amazing. Or they aren't tone deaf but are playing the part anyway. The problem isnt just the communications in the wake of the disaster, it's also the disaster itself and what happened leading up to that. This message from them reeks of the same corporate COA-ing that they're apologizing for

Ok so why blame the pilots initially? Why petition the administration to not ground the airplane even after the second crash? I think Boeing still isn't being open. Nothing's changed. Vague platitudes of accepting some responsibility is not a substitute for specifics of the entire timeline of the feature, testing, approval by all parties.

If regulatory capture isn't part of the Congressional investigation, then it has no credibility, and we can assume that there is Congressional capture as well. The NTSB does have a history of criticizing the FAA, manufacturers, and pilots, with regard to the facts. Therefore I'm reasonably confident they will indicate inadequacies in the regulatory regime for such a misfeature/misdesign to have escaped into the wild.
