I am far less knowledgeble on the subject than you I think, but the FAA just not having resources should end in them not accepting any new missions and keeping a backlog of pending investigations for the next centuries.
The reason it doesn’t work like that is because of pressure on them to keep up wih the requests, and keep the businesses running. That pressure can’t be just their professional guilt, there is I think enough ways the industry affects them so they can’t just refuse to lower standards or accept to delegate part of their work.
That pressure, is what I call bribes. Be it preferencial treatment, exchange of favors, or straight up money going to decision makers to make sure the FAA doesn’t hurt plane makers.
- bumby 7y agoI think you're right. The lack of resources is a leadership issue. The system is likely biased toward people who don't stop work. Any single decision may have a low probability of catastrophe but if you roll the dice enough times it'll catch up to you. But until it does, those types of managers will get promoted because they "get things done" (i.e. they don't stop for due diligence)
