No manufacturer should ever be allowed to self-certify.
What kind of teacher lets his kids self-grade?
- mhb 7y agoWhat kind of educational institution lets its employees assess how well they impart knowledge to their students?
- sudosysgen 7y agoThat's why most countries have state exams :)
- o-__-o 7y agoWell. The FAA in this case is not teaching Boeing how to make planes, so your comparison is not exactly a good one. Maybe an example of another regulated industry like NHTSA or OSHA? I.e. I don’t see gold mining companies performing their own MSHA audits, but I do see them building controls and processes to satisfy safety regulations
- ulfw 7y agoA college or undergrad university doesn’t teach its students how to excel in a GRE or GMAT. And yet you won’t ever get to self grade yourself on those. An external (hopefully somewhat impartial) organisation does.
- CydeWeys 7y agoI do actually remember self-grading in at least a few classes in school, and it was quite effective. You learn more from grading your work (i.e. finding the errors) than if someone else does it for you. This wasn't for final exams obviously, more like quizzes and such.
- ulfw 7y agoExactly. This is for a final exam. The final certification of a whole aircraft type carrying billions of human beings over its lifetime.
- ratsbane 7y agoI remember a few times in school when we took turns grading each other's work. That scenario raises all sorts of other potential for problems, but it's an interesting thought experiment: what if Boeing were responsible for certifying Aribus' planes and visa-versa?
- SomeHacker44 7y agoToo few players; same collusion situation would occur as Boeing had with FAA.
