Why is no one talking about fixing that? I suspect I know the answer!
If the certification regime for the 737 Max is so fundamentally flawed, what else has been 'approved' that should not have been?
This 737 Max problem could be the tip of the iceberg. Since the FAA has allowed Boeing to self-certify critical systems perhaps the rot is more than we think. And I thought the speech by Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg was quite lame. The usual self serving crap.
