Have to agree with the family.
Yes indeed , a family always look at the accident in different light and I really feel sorry for them . . But basically the conclusions of the report could not have been any different for one simple reason ; it would put in question all previous similar certification processes done around that time by the same people and would probably affect the KC-46 and 787 certifications . An a grounding of those 2 aircraft would probably end Boeing , putting 100 thousand jobs in danger plus the economic impact and the loss of leadership in aviation , this is simply not an option for the US.
