> The FAA actually do quite a good job and if anything are maybe a bit over the top in enforcing saftey There's a funny thought experiment on undesired side effects there: the MAX is flawed because it was designed to maximize updates while playing the fine line to avoid re-certification. One has to wonder if getting the certification requirements easier to pass might have resulted in the MAX not existing, and instead having a more "natural" and safer plane created instead. (no it would not, seeing as Boeing was already cutting it short, lowering the standard would lower safety. Still, interesting thought experiment)
