Flight test?

The NTSB can't prevent the FAA from doing anything, nor can they proactively force the FAA to do something. The FAA is the regulator, the NTSB is an independent agency with no regulatory power. The...

Stateside, this is about the best we're gonna get- NTSB is an independent body. Sadly, they can only make recommendations to FAA and Boeing. If this was the subject of a congressional inquiry, it...

LOT

it was rather inconsiderate for the rest of the world to rain on LOT's inaugural service to Chicago last Wednesday. As I understand it, they sent the airplane to ORD, and there it sits, grounded.

Glenbrook,
I hope you're right, but can you imagine which bureaucrat at the FAA, having been "burned" twice now, is going to sign off on what you propose?
