While I share the concern, I'm hoping the FAA and Boeing realize that a single additional crash that involves US citizens would unleash a fury that would make the last one pale in comparison. I would be surprised if either of them would make it out without being completely gutted and rebuilt, with massive executive jail time. I hope for everyone they do realize the stakes of allowing anything similar to the MCAS failures to even be a faint possibility.

Oh, I am pretty sure they realize that. However the ones taking the decision will not bear the consequences. They didn't the last time. That's what I fear.

Not a chance. This is America we’re talking about. Executives of companies the size of Boeing don’t go to jail.
