I'll add, in a directly pertinent context, only that this situation and its crisis aspects already have been geolocated in Crazytown.
And, in more of an indirect context - and while I'm disagreeing with absolutely nothing in your post - still one wonders how all these legal manuevers get coordinated, and by whom. Why is this set of questions relevant? -- because reform if not more fundamental rewriting (preceded by a broad and official re-thinking) of the certification process in total, is at stake. Because several hundred Boeing aircraft are grounded at operators, in storage after production, or will be, as monthly output continues. And not least but more vaguely, it's only Boeing we're talking about, you know, kinda sorta like maybe of primary national interest.
It's like, and I'm trying for dramatic exaggeration to make the point, it's Dallas against the Packers in tbe famed ice-bowl game, and Bart Starr goes out of the game at the point of that critical goal-line series. We need a quarterback. It's an exaggeration but...not by much.
Yeah, it would be difficult to exaggerate by much. Boeing's commercial airplane operation is probably too big too fail, and so is American aviation regulation, but this is just too big a disaster (not an exaggeration) for the world to permit business-as-usual to continue without major changes.
