Wow. Isaacman just threw a lot of people under the bus, and from what is available publicly IMO it is completely justified. Starliner should never have flown with crew onboard, and the bad decision making just compounded from there.

Not so much throwing people under the bus but holding the necessary people accountable for putting ego and image above the safety of actual human beings. I can imagine the amount of furor that occurred in those internal meetings about this before Isaacman's official letter came out.

I used that phrasing because most likely this is the level of being held accountable that results in high-level people losing their jobs.
