We shall see when the 777X comes to fruition, yet another extension of an old variant. Given the MAX debacle, who has the confidence at this point, to certify that ac on an expedited schedule?
The problems within Boeing started to become evident with the B787 and are now very obvious with the MAX. I would happily get onboard a current B738, B777 or B744 without a second thought but would be wary of future models. Self certification obviously isn't working. An independant, well resourced authority should be responsible for testing and issuing a type certificate, and deciding what training needs to be done for pilots transitioning onto the new aircraft. The current conflict of interest should have been obvious.
