Let's not forget that until the two MAX crashes, Boeing had an overall safer record for its 7x7 line than Airbus did with its equivalent passenger jets.

So the EU's "vaunted" adversarial regulator actually was doing a much worse job than the FAA.

My point was that the adversarial regulator for Airbus is the American FAA, not whatever EU institution is their equivalent.

I think you have both misunderstood the argument being made, and misrepresented the relative safety of Airbus and Boeing passenger jets – which, by my understanding, is broadly comparable.
