FAA Has Blood On Its Hands

With the Presidency Of Ronald Reagan, The Republicans modified certification rules and cut appropriations to the FAA. Until that time, The FAA had enough people to work on the certification of new airplanes. After the Republicans cut their budgets, the FAA had to count on employees of the aircraft companies in order to certify the safety of an aircraft. The FAA was especially close to Boeing. Most of the safety tests on the 737 Max were done by Boeing employees. The concept of the Fox guarding the henhouse was in high gear.  A lot of the world looks on FAA certification before they decide a plane should be added to their fleet. As we've seen the comparisons of the two aircraft having identical problems shows that the inherent problems in Boeing's software on the 737 Max shows what happens when federal agencies are intentionally defanged. Boeing had been promising a fix on the software components since the first plane went down. Even last week the head of Boeing talked with Trump about keeping the aircraft flying in the US. It reminds me or  WWII when Glen Curtis's planes were so poorly put together that Pilots blamed Curtis for the deaths of pilots that flew his planes. The Republicans would love to reduce the power of federal agencies, not caring whether a lot of deaths might be the result of letting bad planes in the air. I will never trust flying a 737 Max. I might suggest you ask what planes are flying to the places you want to travel to. If you hear 737 Max, I would suggest you not fly on that plane.
