Weasel words?
Quote from the FAA:
"The purpose of the review is to validate the work conducted during the certification process and further ensure that the aircraft meets the FAA’s high level of safety."
Extraordinary. A statement more worthy of a political spin doctor than an aviation safety regulator, responsible for certification.
"FAA technical experts logged 200,000 hours of work during the 787 type certification and flew on numerous test flights."
So, will heads roll? Or have they already...
(Perhaps I should add that I know little more of the 787 than that it has two wings and a tail, but have always believed that the Americans make airplanes second to none.)
