FAA overlooked several flaws, allowed Boeing to pretty much certificate itself, and fiddle with rules to spend less on training https://archive.ph/KPyej
More specifically, Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas and all the executives came over from MDD and played the same games they always have, like not fixing problems highlighted at design stage, waiting for 2 big fatal accidents to admit there was a problem and “gentleman’s agreements” with the FAA.
Funny how it is always the same plane that keeps fucking up. I wonder why that is?
