Emails:Capt. Mike Forkner, ex 737 Chief Technical Pilot,NYT today..

Can someone please help me understand the following;

1.
"I'm doing a bunch of travelling though the next few months; simulator validations, jedi-mind tricking regulators into accepting the training that I got accepted by the FAA" .

What exactly is "jedi mind tricking" and why was Forkner so busy travelling the world "tricking"?

2.
Why was Boeing's 737 Chief Technical Pilot so busy selling product and not wholly focused on the technical development of a new aeroplane?

Thanks..
