I fear that this will be a case of a MIC monopoly being saved despite its threat to public safety. A day hardly passes without some new scandal surfacing. The FAA is clearly in over its head manpower-wise and expertise-wise. They have been for decades. Congress wants it that way. Thus we have two incompetent forces trying to convince the public to fly around on timebombs.
Bill Clinton is to blame for encouraging this sort of thing. But in the end, the US will bail out Boeing on the backs of taxpayers unless people refuse to fly on its planes. Hello Airbus.
