> 3. To make it clear to the FAA that there's a limit to how long re-certification can take without larger economic impacts.

Good to know they've got their priorities straight. Would hate to see the U.S. economy lose any jobs building unsafe aircraft.

How many people does hurting the US economy kill? What about raising ticket prices, making more people drive instead of fly?

There is a trade-off to be made here, and it's not just between money and lives - it's also between the certainty of a small number of deaths and the chance of a large number of the same.
