You said that the FAA would be causing brain drain - in a field where thousands get laid off all the time?
And that Boeing would surely be exerting influence on them so they wouldn’t catch issues - after Boeing laid them off?
And that it wouldn’t matter having competent engineers at the FAA because catching things require expensive tests - that the engineers if they existed at the FAA could mandate Boeing pay for, since they would know they needed them to do them?
Huh?
No one is saying the FAA should be running a full parallel aerospace program. I’m saying if they lack in house competency to call bullshit on what a player they are regulating is passing to them and relying on that player to just always do the right thing, then they are not effective regulators
It would be like taking Facebooks word that they are totally being good privacy wise, and not having anyone available who understands internet tracking or adtech. Which, is of course another failing regulator (looking at you FTC), but at least that doesn’t get hundreds of people killed in giant fireballs?
