I suggest that further discussion on this particular topic belongs in another thread, or in tech log. If the FAA doesn't make this a requirement, why would Boeing (or Embraer, or anyone) have to "come along" as you put it. (Not saying it's a bad idea, but the flip side is does making this a requirement have a higher importance than something else? ) Is this a solution in search of a problem?
