My family would have flown on a 737 Max this morning. Flight was cancelled. The FAA was literally the last regulatory org to ground the 737 Max... I'm livid that corruption and bias put my family at risk!
- crimsonalucard 8y agoYeah. It is strange that they were the last regulatory org to do so. . In America basically every governmental body is in the pocket of big business.
- ardy42 8y agoThis is an interesting take on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/15/opinion/federal-aviation-administration-boeing.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/15/opinion/federal-aviation-.... Basically, the US has taken the view that any regulation should be strongly supported by facts and evidence, while many other countries are more willing to regulate on a precautionary basis, before all the results are in.
- crimsonalucard 8y agoA speculative opinion piece. Here is another one: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/3/13/18263719/boeing-ceo-dennis-muilenburg-trump-tweet-call https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/3/13/18263719/b... Two planes of the same model crashing of is a statistical anomaly. Science is the correlation of hypothesis with statistical evidence. If I made a hypothesis saying that something is wrong with the 737 max then two 737 planes crashing is valid supporting evidence. Therefore, the decision to regulate is scientific. The decision to not regulate and claim that there is no scientific evidence when their clearly is... is more likely to be a cover story to protect big businesses then an actual decision made to support your safety.
- ams6110 8y agoN.B. no American carriers have crashed a MAX, and they are flying quite a few of them.
