Didn't the Capitol cut down the FAA financially before and paralysed it with the budget fight while moving US export company support into their agenda or similar? The House did a good job improving what had been wrong with the MAX before but maybe the FAA needs even more funding and political support to be able to work as in the old days? Reforming it growing the staff and spooling up seems to take long this time. It feels like this is already affecting the speed to get the 777X and 787 on track again.
