Families for some of the 346 people killed in two fatal Boeing 737 Max crashes said on Wednesday a U.S. judge should reject the planemaker's proposed plea deal with the Justice Department and the government should seek a much higher fine.
Spokespeople for Boeing and the Justice Department did not immediately comment on the families' filings.
The DOJ told Boeing earlier this month it could accept a settlement that branded the planemaker a felon or fight the charge in court.
The Justice Department has a separate criminal probe ongoing into the Alaska Airlines jet that was missing four key bolts.
The company's board -- including new CEO -- must meet with the victims' families within four months of sentencing.
