This of course is insane when you are talking about a for profit business.

- snowwrestler 8y agoIt's a shame this is getting upvoted because it's an incomplete picture. FAA Delegated Organizations Page: https://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/designees_delegations/delegated_organizations/ https://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/designees_... "Regular FAA oversight of an ODA is accomplished by a team of FAA engineers and inspectors to ensure the ODA holder functions properly and that any approvals or certificates issued meet FAA safety standards." List of delegated organizations: https://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/designees_delegations/designee_types/media/ODADirectory.pdf https://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/designees_... Spoiler: there's a lot more than Boeing on there. I don't know about the specific concerns in that video, just replying to the insinuation that Boeing has some strange deal that exempts their planes from oversight by the FAA. They don't.
