The industry didn't lobby the FAA to allow more self regulation, the POTUS demanded it. A more accurate analogy would be the police chief ordering the officer

A more accurate analogy would be the police chief ordering the officer not to arrest the judge's son for drunk driving.
- MockObject 8y agoYes, your analogy is fine. If the police chief was asked on a golf course not to arrest someone, but instead do "self policing", and he complied, it's still a failure in policing, and not any failure of whatever "self policing" is supposed to be. Maybe we need a regulation solution that doesn't involve handing over ultimate authority half the time to a party that is consistently on record as opposing regulation?
