I would like to see all congress people, committees and industry executives that pressured the FAA to reform and streamline on aircraft certification projects in the 2010-2019 period to demonstrate accountability. .
Boeing took the lead on embedding the FAA:

and the rest of the industry was very supportive:

Looking back, everybody sees oversight was lost. Boeing was self certifying and changed product rules (aggressive grandfathering of design & requirements was back on the table) after being removed by the FAA earlier on.

My point is everybody was pushing & supporting delegation, kpi driven streamlining and keeping EASA at arms length. To improve competitiveness of the national airspace industry. Which proved driven by short term profit maximization (stock value, buy backs, dividends, executive bonuses) .
Google logged everything for us over the last 10 years. People changed their mind, but it is clear what happened.
