I do find it extraordinary again, this time that Boeing have put forward a "final fix" which informed commentators almost all seem to find quite inappropriate.

If the FAA turn it down, I would expect McNerney would have to resign. For this reason alone, I would have thought they would go to extreme lengths to ensure it was completely acceptable before it was submitted. But if the proposal, as currently understood, is accepted, then it seems the whole of the knowledgeable aviation community, let alone the customer airlines, are going to rise up against it.

Interesting times.
