There’s no reasonable explanation. It also speaks to the lack of oversight and funding of FAA by Congress. Pathetic really.

- huffmsa 8y ago> lack of oversight From the article: > It turns out that the F.A.A., with congressional approval, has “over the years delegated increasing authority to Boeing to take on more of the work of certifying the safety of its own airplanes,” This ran through Congress. Not that any of them or the bureaucrats at the FAA will face penalty.
