The same people in important places that approved the 737 Max?
- BrandonMarc 7y agoYes ... so they have experience in crashing planes, which is relevant. /s
- pwinnski 7y agoIn the sense that they are human, yes. Even in the sense that they work for the government, which narrows the pool to 20,000,000+ But also, no. Not the same people.
- greenburger 7y agoI get your point but the relevant agency division FAA AVS employees 7,200 people [0]. Fewer than that are involved in certifying aircraft safety. Agencies like all other human groups have cultures. [0] https://www.faa.gov/about/plans_reports/congress/media/fy17_avs_wfp_final.pdf https://www.faa.gov/about/plans_reports/congress/media/fy17_...
- dragonwriter 7y agoWasn't a critical issue with 737 MAX that incumbent manufacturers are able to self-certify equivalency without any review? So, to the extent the Boeing 737 MAX team is not reviewing Amazon's applications, no, not the same people.
