so you're saying, everyone complaining here about "remembering to check the condition every 5 minutes" needs to complain about THIS ALREADY HAPPENING ON FLYING PLANES??

From another comment, it seems (not surprisingly) the MAX 8 and 9 have metal housings, and is different from the 7, which has fiber housings. Maybe the reason they need this exemption in the first place, is cheaping out on the housing.
