The certification process of the 737 MAX seems very much the same as the 777X, over the same period, same FAA, same Boeing and same Congress rulemaking, FAA reauthorizations and certification process streamlining.
US Congress, GAO are very satisfied their demands on aircraft certification streamlining were implemented in the 2011-2017 period. They do the rulemaking, FAA budgets. Only more delegation of certification should be done by FAA and the EASA should avoid doing their own checks. FAA should work on that..

Grandfathering design and requirements were taken to a new level for the all new 777X & DOA’s are all over the place, certifying huge “minor” design changes with limited FAA oversight, special conditions and 27 yr old requirements.
Nobody wants to be the messenger, fearing to hurt the company it’s (nice) employees and the great looking 777X. If Boeing is serious they’ll let JATR do a review of 777X certification. Shouldn’t take very long, I think they can do a lot of copy-paste..
