I would think it would justify additional regulations to allow for something like "upgrades" to existing certifications instead of the binary (full recertification|pretend plane is identical) standard we appear to have today that resulted in the 737 Max tragedy. Is that less regulation? More regulation? I don't know, and I doubt it matters if it's "less" or "more" since the goal is fewer dead people, not passing an ideological Turing test.

> Is that less regulation? More regulation? You are suggesting stronger regulation of some aircraft ('upgrades', as you rightly say), without weakening regulation for any other aircraft. So it's certainly 'more regulation'. > I doubt it matters if it's "less" or "more" since the goal is fewer dead people, not passing an ideological Turing test. It's a political question, so there's at least some question of ideology. Full-bore libertarians would doubtless find some way to oppose your suggestion. You said regulation caused perverse incentives that ultimately got people killed. It would be more fair to say that a loophole in the regulations, caused the perverse incentive.
