FAA attitude

Hi,

The government's approach, while prudent, worries industry officials who fear it does not provide a rapid exit for Boeing.

IMO FAA aggravated the problem with this political attitude (e.g. 1000%).

...It will happen when all are confident they have a good solution that will contain a fire or a leak."

This opens a new front.

Government inspectors also approved Boeing's testing plans for the batteries and were present when they were performed.

The Testability again must be remembered after the problems in BOS and TAK.
