I assume that just before this announcement the FAA had a phone call with Boeing confirming the will have the fix ready by April. This way the FAA gets to looks tough without harming Boeing in any way.
- supercanuck 8y agoWhy should they care how they want to look appear? It seems we lack people willing to behave on principal. What is the downside to not grounding planes that have killed 300 people until April when the fix is ready and we can get pilots training? Where in the constitution does it say we must protect shareholders of airlines and save them 3 weeks of lost revenue from ...(checks notes)... 30 planes ...(Southwest)? If something happens between now and then on this airplane, and it may not even be related to the issue, how much trust is lost in the United States of America and its aviation industry. it just seems quite short sighted.
- sschueller 8y agoThat's still a huge gamble. What are the odds of another one crashing before April?
