The business loss from the media coverage of the trial would lose them a shit ton more than that.

Spicy!!!! I don't really enjoy travel or flying in the first place - it's mostly the amount of time standing and waiting in the middle of a crowd of people who have nothing to do but wait. But the Boeing (and others) stuff makes it real easy for me to stay home and not waste the money/resources.
I value quality time with my two pups more than travel. Taking a train to somewhere remote and beautiful is not off the menu, though. Marginally better than my experiences on a Greyhound.
Option C: donate shitloads of cash to Trump's ~~legal defense slush fund~~ re-election campaign, then if he wins get him to tell the DoJ to drop the case as an "official act" of the Presidency.
DING DING DING WE GOT A WINNER FOLKS!
Hey! Boeing! There's a saying that's popular amongst lawyers—"if you must eat crow, do so while it is fresh."
The uh, crow is already pretty fucking old. Best to just eat it now before you get it shoved down your throat by the DOJ.
Boeing and killed John Barnett
