Utterly different scenario. Toyota was not a "too-big-to-fail" US defense contractor, and thus there was not a domestic entity allowing Toyota to police itself

Utterly different scenario. Toyota was not a "too-big-to-fail" US defense contractor, and thus there was not a domestic entity allowing Toyota to police itself on engineering practices that should have oversight.
I'm not convinced that relationship has changed that much due to this debacle, so I remain skeptical of Boeing and its products, as well as the FAA to give correct oversight over the long term.
- carabiner 6y agoI guarantee that everyone, including you, will have forgotten this completely in 5 years. I would put money on it. It would be cool if carriers caved into this fear and sold 737 MAX tickets at a discount. Also, you're forgetting EASA and other countries' regulators. I'm sure they've picked over everything as well. I think they had egg on their face, as they're supposed to act as another foreign check on these designs.

- Rooster61 6y agoI absolutely will not forget this, if not for the actual tragedy of it, then for the sheer engineering laziness/ineptitude/corruption that occurred here. Boeing is tarnished and will remain so in my book.
