I've only got part way through the JATR report but the impression is, boy has the FAA got some work to do. It looks devastatingly thorough, and they don't look to be pulling any punches. Overall looks like the FAA gets a C- at best and more likely a D- or lower - unacceptable in multiple areas requiring immediate improvement to scrape a pass grade.
Forget the news reports and take the time to read the source, because you could pull enough soundbites from it to feed a dozen threads the size of this one. It looks like almost every worst-fear suggested here and elsewhere about the MAX certification process is going to be either confirmed or listed as requires further investigation. And I'm not even halfway through it yet...
