One might imagine that, even if Boeing and the FAA truly didn't believe that the rollout guidance actuator issue was urgent (sure seems urgent to me), the geniuses in charge would have immediately recognized in February that much of the world would see it as urgent and react accordingly. Wasn't it obvious that, if it wasn't nipped in the bud, the company and the regulator could look forward to hundreds or thousands of alarming headlines and more hard-to-answer questions the next time they're dragged into congressional hearings? Apparently not.
And how did they think telling crews to stomp really hard on the pedals would play with the NTSB and the public?
Talk about slow learners.
