Yep, some shady shit. All to compete with the Airbus A320. And does anybody recall this:

That's the CEO of Boeing calling POTUS to tell him "everything is fine."

Just awful awful optics.

FWIW,

Head of the FAA testified in front of Congress. What he'd need to completely onboard all of the certs and related processes:

$1.8 Billion allowing for a staff of an additional 10,000 people

Can't wait to hear about how the GOP would like to fund this.

If Boeing avoids culpability here and places blame on the FAA I say do away with the FAA altogether. Then let's sit and wait for the market to judge Boeing the next time this happens. Just privatize it all so that everybody's ass is hanging in the wind when shit goes wrong. I'm so so tired of this utterly stupid shit.

Hopefully it won't another DC-10 situation, where a good aircraft is forever tainted by correctable issues. People are irrational about airplanes. Its the same sort of mentality that makes people terrified of nuclear energy and to hell with the facts of the matter.
