 Okay, apparently it was really deferred. What happened to that earlier deal? Yeah, Boeing agreed to pay a similar fine and it promised to make big changes around safety and compliance. In exchange, the Justice Department agreed not to prosecute the company. But the Department of Justice now says Boeing did not hold up its end of that deal and essentially gave the company a choice of taking this plea deal or fighting the felony charge in court. There are some key differences this time around. For one, Boeing has agreed to plead guilty. That didn't happen last time.
