So if Boeing deliberately misled pilots about the 737 MAX, SWA corporate, alone, has standing to sue?

If Hertz determines Ford lied about its cars' design safety, can't an laid off employee sue Ford? Or an injured renter?

A negligent or reckless third party’s actions or omissions is not unplowed ground.
