"So depending on the incentives and short term nature of the person deciding, there are a lot of incentives to not look too hard."
This gets at what has been reported as the fundamental problem at Boeing: It used to have a safety culture, when it was run by engineers. Now it's run by finance people, and it has a short-term profit culture. Instead of asking "will this plane be safe to operate for the next 30 years" it becomes "will this plane be slightly more profitable to sell next quarter". This is a major problem where safety is paramount.
