I should think it is much easier to fix the FAA than it is to start a new aircraft company.

- skissane 7y agoEven if the FAA isn't fixed, foreign agencies such as the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are going to be much less trusting of the FAA from now on. They will want to check things themselves rather than just trusting the FAA on it. Of course, anything EASA does to Boeing, the FAA could do to Airbus. But, is it possible that Airbus as a company might handle stricter regulations better than Boeing could? (EU companies tend to have more experience operating in a higher-regulation environment than American companies do.) In which case, EASA could tighten the screws on both, but that might end up in practice favouring one more than the other.
