I was just reading an article on New York Times that describes the process since 2005 whereby safety oversight responsibilities over Boeing were gradually moved in house — until by 2018 Boeing was self-certifying for 96% of safety testing.
If they are doing 96% of the safety validation work — then they should bear 96% of the responsibility for safety process failures ... in this case, given the break down of safety validation capacity and what I’m increasingly viewing as essentially a coverup after the first and second crashes — 96% of the responsibility is and probably should be - enough to bring Boeing down ...
I’m beginning to think that might be the only way to ensure responsibility for this failure gets allocated in a sufficiently accurate way to ensure this scenario isn’t likely to happen again ... allowing the faa to have the responsibility to bear the weight of this process breakdown would basically just allow Boeing to shift responsibility for this outcome off themselves and onto an organization which it seems has been deliberately engineered (by Boeing) to not have the capacity to perform effective oversight ...
